"celebrating the landscapes of the British Isles through photography"
National Parks (UK and Republic of Ireland)
The UK has fifteen National Parks; ten in England, three in Wales and two in Scotland and we adore them all for their own unique beauty. From the water of the Lake District and the Broads to the mountains of the Cairngorms and Peak District and all the different landscapes between, all of the national parks are protected to ensure their beauty lives on for future generations to enjoy.
The Republic of Ireland has six national parks. The first park created in Ireland is Killarney found in Kerry county in 1932, and since then five more national parks have been created and the most recent ones being Ballycroy in Mayo county.

Loch Gamhna - Cairngorms
At the southern end of Loch an Eilein is the linking waters to Loch Gamhna. This 'Loch of the Stirks (young cattle)' was used centuries ago by cattle raiders as an access route to Strathspey. In the hope that the main herds would be spared local folk tied a few cows to a tree beside Loch Gamhna. 'Thieves Road' south of the loch was used in 1644 by forces of the Marquis of Montrose who marched through in pursuit of the Duke of Argyll's army.
