Nature & Wildlife

In the UK’s biggest National Park, you will definitely find a mountain high enough, a valley low enough and a loch wide enough, each full of wonderful, often rare wildlife.

The Cairngorms has a lot to boast about when it comes to nature. A quarter of Scotland’s native pine forest. A quarter of the UK’s rare and endangered species. And five of the UK’s 6 highest mountains, which sit in the most extensive example of arctic mountain landscape in the UK. It’s such a special natural environment that 49 per cent has been recognised as being of international importance for nature, and is protected by European Law.
