The Natural World

Scotland is famed worldwide for its spectacular scenery of mountains, lochs and glens. It is also being increasingly recognised as the Wildlife Tourism capital of Europe. The Cairngorms and Deeside area is central to this genuine 'wildlife experience'.

In Royal Deeside and the Cairngorms, the scenery ranges from the highest British mountain tops to verdant river valleys and is home to over 100 species of rare and endangered British animals and plants.
