  • Strathspey Woodlands Land Management Plan Brief
    Strathspey Woodlands Land Management Plan Brief Vision Strathspey Woodlands through the centuries have met the needs of both local people and the nation - it shall continue to do this through this millennium. In future years it will remain a vibrant ecosystem, with a wide variety of tree ages and types, with significant international and national biodiversity value. Equally, it will remain a socially important forest providing for the needs of local people and visitors to the area who will draw inspiration from the wild land characteristics of the forest. Diversity will be an important element in what will be predominantly a native forest, with quiet areas “left for nature” and others which will continue to provide opportunities, through employment and tourism, in the area. 1. Project Background Strathspey Land Management Plan (LMP) is an amalgamation of Glenmore, Inshriach, McAlpine and Upper Rothiemurchus forest blocks. Strathspey now stretches from Pityoulish in the north to “Woods of Glentromie” in the south, and from West of the B970 by Kingussie to the “Stac na h-loaire” hill in the east. Strathspey covers an area of approx. 9208 ha of largely native coniferous forest. The forest blocks contain a wide variety of habitats which supports some of the most specialised species and habitats in the country. The predominately native crop has commercial significance, as well. Equally, the plan area and its surroundings are socially important forests providing both for the needs and livelihoods of local people and for exceptional recreational experiences to visitors who will draw inspiration from the wild land characteristics. Sitting within the catchments of the River Spey, these areas play a significant role in water management.

  • Place-Names of the Cairngorms National Park
    Place-Names of the Cairngorms National Park Place-Names in the Cairngorms This leaflet provides an introduction to the background, meanings and pronunciation of a selection of the place-names in the Cairngorms National Park including some of the settlements, hills, woodlands, rivers and lochs in the Angus Glens, Strathdon, Deeside, Glen Avon, Glen Livet, Badenoch and Strathspey. Place-names give us some insight into the culture, history, environment and wildlife of the Park. They were used to help identify natural and built landscape features and also to commemorate events and people. The names on today’s maps, as well as describing landscape features, remind us of some of the associated local folklore. For example, according to local tradition, the River Avon (Aan): Uisge Athfhinn – Water of the Very Bright One – is said to be named after Athfhinn, the wife of Fionn (the legendary Celtic warrior) who supposedly drowned while trying to cross this river. The name ‘Cairngorms’ was first coined by non-Gaelic speaking visitors around 200 years ago to refer collectively to the range of mountains that lie between Strathspey and Deeside. Some local people still call these mountains by their original Gaelic name – Am Monadh Ruadh or ‘The Russet- coloured Mountain Range’.These mountains form the heart of the Cairngorms National Park – Pàirc Nàiseanta a’ Mhonaidh Ruaidh. Invercauld Bridge over the River Dee Linguistic Heritage Some of the earliest place-names derive from the languages spoken by the Picts, who ruled large areas of Scotland north of the Forth at one time. The principal language spoken amongst the Picts seems to have been a ‘P-Celtic’ one (related to Welsh, Cornish, Breton and Gaulish).

Cairngorm Mountain and Glenmore are, together with neighbouring Rothiemurchus, one of the most visited destinations in Scotland, attracting 1.4 million visits annually. This represents around 40% of visits to the entire National Park. The natural environment is outstanding with the mountain plateau, Caledonian pinewoods and Loch Morlich with its stunning beach.
