Uplands | Cairngorms

Cairngorms National Park stretches from Grantown on Spey to the heads of the Angus Glens, from Ballater to Dalwhinnie and Drumochter including much of the Laggan area in the southwest and a large area of the Glen Livet estate and the Strathdon/Glen Buchat area. The forests of the Cairngorms contain remnants of the original Caledonian pine forest and includes a rare kind of pinewood found only in Scotland and Norway. Heather moorland covers much of the national park.

The British Isles has a mountainous north. There are more than 277 peaks above 3,000 feet and they are amazing places to see nature in the round.
