Copyright | | The
Cairngorms is one of the most mountainous landscapes in the UK, characterised
by broad granite plateaux, steep sided glens and deep corries. The animals
on the Cairngorms are mountain specialists, and many have adapted to the cold
climate.
| |  | Wilderness locations are good places to spot animals
and plants which prefer to live in remote upland habitats with little human interference. | |  | - Get out and about to enjoy nature watching
in wilderness areas. Take some top tips from the TV team.

there: | The main A9 road takes you
through the heart of Aviemore and Spey Valley, but there is an alternative - to
take the scenic route. The quick route from south is to follow the motorway to
Perth, then journey up the A9 passing by the spectacular Grampian Mountains -
this will take about two hours. Alternatively, from Glasgow, follow the A82 up
the side of Loch Lomond, over Rannoch Moor and through Glencoe to Fort William
and on to Spean Bridge. Then go by Glen Spean and Loch Laggan Into Badenoch at
Newtonmore and follow the old A9 through the villages of Kingussie and Kincraig
to Aviemore.
The Glenlivet Estate is located between the ladder
and the Cromdale Hills in the Cairngorms National Park. Ìý The Cairngorm
Mountain Railway is located nine miles from Aviemore. | | Opening
