Quite apart from the benefit to our own people, which is my primary concern, it is also a great money spinner. I will quote one example. The Fife Coastal Path, which has been opened up on the east coast of Scotland, yields something like £28 million per year for the local community and about 500 to 600 jobs are sustained by that. I do not think we are sufficiently hooked into the advantages of that for us.
