It would seem an ideal location for the next Big Brother, just dont
bother with the cameras.

Looks like there's been some damage to the ski lifts (hardly
surprising).

I would have thought that winds of 100mph+ were relitively common up
there, and any structures would be designed to withstand them.
Hasn't Cairngorm had winds approaching 150mph?

Interestingly, Countryfile has just done a feature on the Cairngorm
weather station, and they said that winds of over 100mph were pretty
common. It looks a pretty desolate place though, they had to hack
their way in with an ice axe!
