The magnificent wilderness of the Cairngorms

Now the Cairngorms National Park is almost three times the size of London and more than twice the size of Scotland's original national park, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs. It stretches from Blair Atholl in the south-west up to Carrbridge in the north, and covers much of the Central and Eastern Highlands, including Badenoch and Strathspey, parts of Moray, the Angus glens, Highland Perthshire, Glenshee and most of Royal Deeside around Balmoral.
