Tyndrum, a scottish village, may lie above n old gold mine last worked in the '80s. As it has become environmentally more sound, it may prove to be a tourist attraction as well. Scotgold Resources will be developing the site. British authorities will have to approve their plan. The developer has stored precious metal outside the mine. Called the Coronish gold mine, the 2017 proposal must be approved also by National Park Authority customary planning procedures.
