Sorry if I upset you Stan. I did not intend "remote" to mean "backward". I am sure that your "quality of life" is better than mine in darkest Hampshire!
However, Bettyhill to Inverness is over 100 miles. If I lived that far from my major accident trauma centre, I would consider that to be remote, especially during the "golden hour". What is the provision of Fire Brigade accident rescue tenders? If my "local" one(3 miles) is not available, there is another 5 miles away.
