If I was a christian I would be putting him forward for
sanctification.

We'd need him to work a miracle first, then I'd second that if I was a
Christian.
Still it's nice to dream of what might have been.

To be fair to the NTS I think they are now trying to put the "Unna
Rules" into practice again, having lapsed badly from them (one reason
the JMT was set up). In 2002 the NTS introduced a wild land policy,
based on Unna's thinking.

Evidence for the prosecution = Ben Lawers Visitor Centre.

And, although I may dangerously begin to sound like a certain spammer
who has been vandalising this ng of late - I am not sure how setting
animal snares near Derry Lodge fits in with such a policy.

Certainly. The NTS did lapse badly for quite a while - that is one of
the worst examples. However it has changed. Evidence for the defence -
the wild land policy, the new Glencoe Visitor Centre.

What are the snares for?

As far as I know part of the purchase deal for the Mar Lodge Estate was
that stalking would continue on the estate for a number of years. I
don't support this but I do think that overall the NTS has made big
improvements to the estate.

I don't think the NTS are by any means perfect, just far better than
they were for a few decades and on balance worthy of support. I wouldn't
have said that not so long ago.
