Cairngorms National Park

Cairngorms National Park is hugely diverse; it is a living, working landscape from the wild high mountains, to the heather moorlands and peatlands, to the magnificent forests, the farms and crofts, and the wetlands and rivers which wind through the flood plains.

The landscapes of the National Park are not just something we look at and see; they are something we belong to and feel! This is a living, working landscape formed not just by the vast crushing glaciers of yesterday but by the daily lives of the many people who live and work in the National Park. It is active management and hard work that has led to the creation of all the forest, moorland and farmland we celebrate today.
