I'm certain joeboy will beat the opening event, ..will he be kilted up? Turkish sun basted legs making him stand out & easily identifiable, ..will it be an epic clash of the tartans type event with local govt factions aiming for the spotlight & claiming to be instrumental in bringing renewables on (political gaffes)

Tartan ribbon cutting event ?

I was tempted to make a weekend of it till I remembered how far it is from Aviemore.

Indeed it is, although not strong enough to delude me on a smoke n mirror U tube batch of nothingness. Run a tracked digger up and down the slope twice and you'd match that 'update' for progress.
