  • Cairngorms National Park Visitor Survey 2014/15
    Cairngorms Visitor Survey 2014-15 Presentation of Findings FULL REPORT 1st July 2015 Background • The Cairngorms National Park was established in 2003 and is one of Scotland’s two National Parks (the other being Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park). • In order to ensure a sustainable future for the Parks, the National Park Authority co-ordinates the delivery of four statutory aims: 1. To conserve and enhance the area’s natural and cultural heritage 2. To promote the sustainable use of the area’s natural resources 3. To promote understanding and enjoyment of the Park’s special qualities 4. To promote sustainable economic and social development of local communities • To make sure these aims are met, the bodies responsible for the parks’ management require information regarding visitor profile and behaviour, volumes of use, visitors’ knowledge and attitudes, and the impacts of information provided to visitors. • Previous Visitor Surveys have been conducted at each National Park – in 2003/04 and again in 2009/10. • Both National Parks commissioned further visitor research in 2014/15 to continue to inform the sustainable management of the parks. 2 Research objectives To understand visitors to the Cairngorms National Park, in terms of their profile, visiting behaviour and visitor experience. The four specific objectives of this study are: 1. To supply information about visitors and their type of visit, in order to guide future tourism policy and activity – this is achieved through establishing: – Visitor behaviour – Visitor experiences – Visitor perceptions – Visitor expectations 2. To gather data which can be replicated to enable changes to be tracked over time 3.

SOLD BY THE AGENTS FOR THE COURANT; AND BY ALL BOOKSELLERS. : ELGIN PRINTED AT THE COURANT OFFICE, PREFACE, Thu ''Morayshire Directory" is issued in the hope that it will be found satisfactorily comprehensive and reliably accurate, The greatest possible care has been taken in verifying every particular contained in it ; but, where names and details are so numerous, absolute accuracy is almost impossible. A few changes have taken place since the first sheets were printed, but, so far as is known, they are unimportant, It is believed the Directory now issued may be fully depended upon as a Book of Reference, and a Guide for the County of Moray and the Upper District of Banffshire, Giving names and information for each town arid parish so fully, which has never before been attempted in a Directory for any County in the JTorth of Scotland, has enlarged the present work to a size far beyond anticipation, and has involved much expense, labour, and loss of time. It is hoped, however, that the completeness and accuracy of the Book, on which its value depends, will explain and atone for a little delay in its appearance. It has become so large that it could not be sold at the figure first mentioned without loss of money to a large extent, The price has therefore been fixed at Two and Sixpence, in order, if possible, to cover outlays, Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2010 with funding from National Library of Scotland http://www.archive.org/details/blacksmorayshire1863dire INDEX.
