Frozen Loch Morlich in the foothills of the snow covered Cairngorms National Park. SCO 2153
Stretching from Grantown-on-Spey in the north to the heads of the Angus Glens in the south and from Ballater in the east to Dalwhinnie and Laggan in the west the park covers roughly 10% of Scotland. It is home to a quarter of Scotland's native woodland and is a refuge for a host of rare plants and creatures, including 25% of the UK's threatened species. The National Park takes in some of the most spectacular landscapes in Britain, from the wild tundra of the high mountain tops to the wind-rocked seclusion of the ancient pinewoods. Heather moor, vivid with summer colour, and grand glens, haunt of red deer and golden eagle, are just some of the other habitats within the park. SCO 2153
