The textbook blurb : Cairngorm Mountains, highest mountain massif in the
British Isles, named after one of its peaks (Cairn Gorm,
1,245 m) and situated in the Highlands of Scotland between the Spey and Dee
river valleys. Ben Macdui 1,309 m, the highest
mountain in the massif, is the second highest mountain (after Ben Nevis) in the British Isles. A winter-sports industry in the Cairngorm Mountains, centred on the town of Aviemore, has developed and expanded rapidly
since World War II. Recreational activities include skiing, ice and rock
climbing, and pony trekking. The associated Cairngorms National Nature
Reserve, at 259 square km, was established in 1954 and has rare flora and
fauna.
