Cairngorms wildlife & summits

Five days of mountain summits, ospreys and pine forest.

The Cairngorms National Park is the largest in Britain, covering 4,500 square kilometres of plateau, mountain and Caledonian pine forest. It holds five of Britain's six highest mountains and Europe's most southerly subarctic plateau. Wildlife — reindeer, capercaillie, golden eagle, osprey, red squirrel — is more concentrated here than anywhere else in the UK.
