Keep it that way. The last thing you want is the locust plague turning your beautiful countryside into a theme park where the locals can no longer live.

Oh don’t worry - the midges are doing a great job of keeping it that way! :)

Or going on Glaswegian Chocolate Bar Safaris hoping to spot Sad Oompa Loompas in their natural habitat.

We went viral as Oompa Loompas but we're just normal people:

If not a theme park or safari, then at least a movie:

>I would be a cheeky Oompa Looma!

This is already something of a problem in places due to AirBnB, especially on the islands.

Mind you, I live in Edinburgh and the Festival has arrived, so I have an extra 100k people to walk past or through everytime I want to get anywhere this month.

it's all good, we already have plagues of midges to protect the countryside from humanity.
