I corrected various instances of "where" being used incorrectly instead of "were". --User:anonymous 16:36, 08 January 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.233.171.231 (talk)

Removal of controversy section
Can anyone explain why a well cited controversy section was removed? This seems a little suspect to me. I see no reason why it, or a suitable replacement, should not be added back in.

It was written as follows:

2007
The festival management were criticised for their decision to place Daft Punk in the 10,000 capacity Clash Arena instead of the main stage. The festival was Daft Punks first Scottish show in over 10 years which made the set a "must see" for many of the 35,000 festival goers.

There was some controversy at Rock Ness 2007 with the death of one festival goer from taking an overdose of heroin in the car park outside the main arena and camp site.

Professional footballer Richie Hart who plays for Inverness Caledonian Thistle was detained in connection with possession of cocaine on the banks of Loch Ness at the 2007 festival. He admitted to the charge of possessing cocaine and was fined £300.

2008
Due to the death the previous year, tighter restrictions were put in place for car park access at the 2008 event. Festival goers were told that they would not be permitted to return to their cars during the weekend. Due to public pressure this was later relaxed to permit multiple trips for unloading camping equipment, but alcohol would only be permitted on the first entry. This amendment was not well published however leading to much confusion over the position on returning to cars. In addition the VIP car park was not well signposted leading many VIP ticket holders to park in the main car park.

In the 2008 festival a teenager was found unconscious in front of the main stage. He was taken to hospital by air ambulance but later died.
