The Cairngorms is the largest national park in Britain, an arctic-alpine plateau holding the four highest summits after Ben Nevis, with remnants of old Caledonian pine forest at Rothiemurchus and Abernethy. From Aviemore you can watch ospreys at Loch Garten, look for crested tits and red squirrels, walk into the Lairig Ghru and reach Speyside distilleries within the hour. Snow lingers on the tops into May; September brings the red deer rut.
