Absolutely Right!Maybe I should buy the Royal back even given the fact I sold it 15 odd years because we considered it not fit for purpose and it had no future. Do you realise how many thousands of visitors are not coming to the town because we don't have the large number of quality bed spaces required? Thurso actually needs a lot more bed spaces than I want to build. And yes many want to go to Orkney during a stay but it will be on a day trip using Thurso as a hub to tour the north like we did in the Royal.As for the ASDA and housing comment. Sequential testing and the local plan has shown Pennyland is the place to expand Thurso for the health of the town since 2002. And yes I do have self interest in mind, of course I am a business man with a 30 year dream. Saying that, I would not do anything detrimental to the health of the town. The hotel, public park and chalet development discussed on this thread would be one of the best things that ever happened to the town.
