On the way back from Orkney, I stopped off to see my parents and took them up to the Cairngorm car park. We hadn't been here for some time. I love the view from Cairngorm both upwards to the summit of the mountain and downwards to Lock Morlich and Aviemore beyond. As the ski-ing season in Scotland diminishes, areas like Cairngorm have to provide other facilities for tourists, including the controversial funicular railway. In my view they have done this is a sensitive and positive way so that the mountains retain their grandeur and beauty. These are three of the photos I took.
