The local population expresses itself over its proposed ultramodern feature, designed with concrete, steel and glass is in contradiction with the environmentally conscious image of McCartney. Jim Michie, a 71-year-old old resident, shot: “I can’t imagine that Stella McCartney turns one of the dances in the local hall”, pointing to the narrow headland that is known as Command Rock-where the house of McCartney is intended to be built. While he admitted that he welcomes the prospect. McCartney53, who became a neighbor, he emphasized that her planned construction will lead to limitations that can block local access to the picturesque place.
“Command Rock is one of my favorite places,” he added, also saying that gates and security measures can prevent old visitors from enjoying the beautiful view of the area, concerns are displayed by more than 60 others who have submitted objections to Highland Council against the planning application of McCartney.
Complaints range from potential effects on local animals to the aesthetic mismatch of the proposed design with the natural environment, which critics have described as “monstrous” and “a carbuncle”.
