"celebrating the landscapes of the British Isles through photography"
Cairngorms and East Coast
The Cairngorms are the focal point of a national park in north east Scotland, established in 2003. It was the second of two national parks established by the Scottish Parliament, after Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, set up in 2002. The park covers the Cairngorms range of mountains, and surrounding hills. Already the largest national park in the British Isles, in 2010 it expanded into Highland and Perth and Kinross. Extending east from the Cairngorms, the region is bounded by the Moray Firth and the North Sea. Geographically diverse, the landscape in the south of the region is comprised predominantly of undulating farmland, but as you travel further north, this gives way to wooded glens, mountains and increasingly harsh land fringed by a dramatic coast of cliffs and long sandy beaches.

Insh Marshes - Cairngorms
Insh Marshes is an outstanding wetland of international importance covering 1000 hectares of the floodplain of the river Spey between Kingussie and Kincraig. From the great floodplain systems which once dominated the wide, often impassable valleys in Britain, Insh Marshes remains the last relatively natural example of its kind. Historically, flooding and grazing has played an important role in shaping the marshes, and this is still the case today. The site is internationally acclaimed and is particularly renowned for the number and variety of breeding waders, and the rich diversity of plants and animals.
