Cairngorms National Park, the largest in the UK, lacks an entrance gate or pass requirement for visitors. The landscape features rolling moorland, rounded peaks, and picturesque scenery that captivates travelers. The park is populated with over 18,000 residents and offers varied activities, including whisky distilleries, water sports, and a ski resort. Key attractions include Balmoral Castle. Visitors often rush their trips, but a slower pace is recommended to fully experience the park's natural beauty and dynamic environment.
The tops of our mountains may not be as dramatic as some of the peaks on the west coast of Scotland, but for me, it's the recesses that are really magical.
The Cairngorms are a juxtaposition between something constant, stoic, and ancient and something ever-changing, dynamic, and alive.
Unlike the national parks in the U.S., the Cairngorms are considered a populated national park, one that's home to more than 18,000 residents living in its small towns and charming villages.
Travelers frequently make the mistake of rushing their trips to the area; I recommend slower travel. Take your time to really enjoy the beautiful landscape.
