  • CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK / TROSSACHS NATIONAL PARK Wildlife Guide How Many of These Have You Spotted in the Forest?
    CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK / TROSSACHS NATIONAL PARK Wildlife GuidE How many of these have you spotted in the forest? SPECIES CAIRNGORMS NATIONAL PARK Capercaillie The turkey-sized Capercaillie is one of Scotland’s most characteristic birds, with 80% of the UK's species living in Cairngorms National Park. Males are a fantastic sight to behold with slate-grey plumage, a blue sheen over the head, neck and breast, reddish-brown upper wings with a prominent white shoulder flash, a bright red eye ring, and long tail. Best time to see Capercaille: April-May at Cairngorms National Park Pine Marten Pine martens are cat sized members of the weasel family with long bodies (65-70 cm) covered with dark brown fur with a large creamy white throat patch. Pine martens have a distinctive bouncing run when on the ground, moving front feet and rear feet together, and may stop and stand upright on their haunches to get a better view. Best time to see Pine Martens: June-September at Cairngorms National Park Golden Eagle Most of the Cairngorm mountains have just been declared as an area that is of European importance for the golden eagle. If you spend time in the uplands and keep looking up to the skies you may be lucky enough to see this great bird soaring around ridgelines, catching the thermals and looking for prey. Best time to see Golden Eagles: June-September in Aviemore Badger Badgers are still found throughout Scotland often in surprising numbers. Look out for the signs when you are walking in the countryside such as their distinctive paw prints in mud and scuffles where they have snuffled through the grass.

  • Scottish Winters 2004-2006
    SIMON RICHARDSON Scottish Winters 2004.. 2005 & 2005.. 2006 ive climbs stand out from the last two winter seasons - a technical test Fpiece in the Northern Corries, a bolt-protected climb in the Southern HigWands, a major addition to Pinnacle Buttress on Creag Meagaidh, a stylish and very fast repeat on the Shelter Stone and the first winter ascent of a long sought-after line in the far north-west. These climbs are strikingly different in style, and highlight the variety of climbing styles in the increasingly popular sport of Scottish winter climbing. Dave Macleod's winter ascent of The Hurting in Coire an t-Sneachda in February 2005 was something special. This 35m-high crack line slices through the prominent steep triangular wall on the right side of Fiacaill Buttress and was first climbed in 1991 as a summer E4 6a. The winter ascent was graded a hefty XI, 11, making it by far the most difficult winter pitch ever led in Scotland. MacLeod's lead was brilliant, and the resulting route is highly technical and very bold. In rock climbing terms think E9 or ElO. After inspecting the route on abseil, Dave almost flashed the route on his first attempt, but fell off three moves from the top. Scott Muir then top roped the climb, and pointed out to Dave that he had gone the wrong way at the top. Dave returned three days later to settle the score. It was a cold, windy day and recent heavy snow meant the cracks were verglassed. Dave abseiled down to see where Scott had gone at the top, chopped the verglas out of the crucial gear placements and then led the route.

  • The Cairngorm Club Journal 103, 1994
    143 PROCEEDINGS OF THE CLUB GENERAL MEETINGS The 1991 Annual General Meeting was held on November 27. Gillian Shirreffs was elected President in succession to Eddie Martin, and Peter Bellarby was elected to the vacant position of Vice-President. AH of the other office-bearers appointed the previous year were re-appointed. The 1992 Annual General Meeting took place on November 25. Fiona Cameron was elected to the vacant position of Vice-President and all of the other office-bearers re- appointed. A Special General Meeting was held immediately before the 1992 Annual General Meeting, its purpose being to consider resolutions put forward in the name of the committee for a number of changes to the constitution. The main changes proposed were: (a) Amendments to the rights of Associate Members - that up to two Associate Members could serve as Ordinary Members of the committee, although not as office- bearers. (b) An amendment to the objects clause - that the mention of encouragement of hillwalking and climbing was related more to standards than to actual engagement in the pursuit. (c) Increases in the numbers needed for requisitions, quorum etc., in line with the general increase in the size of the Club. (d) An adjustment to the provision about committee rotation - that the number retiring in any year did not have to be made up to three if fewer than three had served the normal three-year term. The proposed changes were all approved, with minor amendments in the case of the objects clause, and the constitution was amended, reprinted and copied to all members in March, 1993.

  • Victoria & Albert's Highland Fling
    PROGRAMME 2 VICTORIA & ALBERT’S HIGHLAND FLING Introduction The Highlands are renowned throughout the world as a symbol of Scottish identity and we’re about to find out why. In this four-day walk we’re starting out at Pitlochry – gateway to the Cairngorms National Park – on a mountainous hike to the Queen’s residence at Balmoral. Until the 19th century, this area was seen by many as a mysterious and dangerous land. Populated by kilt-wearing barbarians, it was to be avoided by outsiders. We’re going to discover how all that changed, thanks in large part to an unpopular German prince and his besotted queen. .Walking Through History Day 1. Day 1 takes us through the Killiecrankie Pass, a battlefield of rebellious pre-Victorian Scotland. Then it’s on to an unprecedented royal visit at Blair Castle. Pitlochry to Blair Atholl, via the Killiecrankie Pass and Blair Castle. Distance: 12 miles Day 2. Things get a little more rugged with an epic hike through Glen Tilt and up Carn a’Chlamain. Then it’s on to Mar Lodge estate where we’ll discover how the Clearances made this one of the emptiest landscapes in Europe, and a playground for the rich. Blair Atholl to Mar Lodge, via Glen Tilt and Carn a’Chlamain. Distance: 23 miles Day 3. Into Royal Deeside, we get a taste of the Highland Games at Braemar, before reaching the tartan palace Albert built for his queen at Balmoral. Mar Lodge to Crathie, via Braemar and Balmoral Castle Distance: 20 miles Day 4. On our final day we explore the Balmoral estate.

SECTION 36 APPLICATION FOR THE PROPOSED MACRITCH HILL WIND FARM ON LAND CLOSE TO BACKWATER RESERVOIR, KIRRIEMUIR, ANGUS Objection to Section 36 Application for Macritch Hill Wind Farm, by Backwater Reservoir, Kirriemuir, Angus 1. Introduction Eneco Wind UK Ltd has applied for planning permission for 18 wind turbines of up to 125m blade- tip height at base elevations of around 320-480m OD in two disconnected arrays, 3km apart. The Mountaineering Council of Scotland believes the design of the proposed development is incoherent and that it should be regarded as two separate developments combined in a single application. The Mountaineering Council of Scotland does not object to the southern array (Turbines 1-9, 17 & 18). The Mountaineering Council of Scotland objects to the northern array (Turbines 10-16) on the grounds of landscape and visual impact detrimental to mountaineering interests in the adjacent area, much of which lies within the Cairngorms National Park and much of which is also in Wild Land Area Lochnagar-Mount Keen. 2. The Mountaineering Council of Scotland (MCofS) The MCofS is an independent organisation with more than 12,500 members who are hill walkers, climbers and ski tourers. It was established in 1970 as the national representative body for the sport of mountaineering in Scotland.
