A wonderfully descriptive piece of writing, much appreciated because I've not yet visited (it is on my ever growing list). It seems curious then why the National Trust in N.I. are opposing the development so vigorously.
Opposing all developments seems to be part of their remit and must cost a small fortune.A lot of kids I meet don't care a stuff for the past. Equally a lot do and I think that is reflected throughout people of all ages. There has to be give and take and appreciation of differing views. The NT are trying to uphold their view which I assume is supposed to reflect what they think the public always want, but is it? This is a modern world and we have to balance those views accordingly. If the new project doesn't harm or obstruct the Steps in any way other than the fact that they don't wish to see it happening, then they won't succeed.
