The Cairngorms National Park became the UK’s second National Park in 2003 and it is located in northeast Scotland with an area of 4,528 km2.  In 2010 it expanded into Perth and Kinross.

The park covers the Cairngorms range of mountains, and surrounding hills. It contains 5 of the 6 highest mountains in the UK, Over a third of the park sits at close to 2,000 feet (600 m) above sea level, creating an Arctic-like climate.

The park is home to eagles, ospreys, wildcats, reindeer, red squirrels, and boasts an extensive array of activities that range from hiking, skiing, and traditional villages.
