Details

The Cairngorms was made a National Park in September 2003 because it is a unique and special place that needs to be cared for - both for the wildlife and countryside it contains and for the people that live in it, manage it and visit it. It is Britain's largest national Park.

The Cairngorms National Park has the largest area of arctic mountain landscape in the UK at its heart, with diverse communities around it. It is home to 16,000 people and 25% of Britain's threatened birds, animals, and plants. It includes moorlands, forests, rivers, lochs and glens.

A inclined railway opened here in late 2001, running from a base station at 637 metres up to the Ptarmigan Centre (café / shop), situated at 1097 metres, 150 metres from the summit of Cairn Gorm.
