My great great grandmother was born at Rothiemurchus. Thanks for posting that picture. Wonderful. One day I hope to see it for myself.

It certainly is - but there are midges as Paula and I will testify to  :-\

I'll see what I can dig out - I may have some photos tucked away.

Didn't want to spoil it by bringing them little bs into it, Gadget.
Odd thing is, I never seem to be bothered with them there...

Came on this thread because we have McIntosh in our tree too... but they were from Nairn.....

Hi

I've been sifting through some photos that I took over 3 years ago. Mr Gadget had a residential conference at Aviemore and I tagged along for the ride. One of the days I took myself off to the funicular that goes nearly to the top of CairnGorm. It was a pretty wet day and no one is allowed outside of the viewing area at the top.

Here are a couple of photos - one a general view from the viewing platform and one a zoomed shot of Loch Morlich. The forest bits are part of the Rothiemurchus/Glen More Forest Park

Just to give a clue as to the way folk thought in that area... the dearly beloved OH's grandfather used to take a 'morning stroll' some mornings, from Nethy Bridge, to the top of the Cairngorm and back down for dinner...
Healthy people like that make you feel  :-\

Hi Pels  ;D

To give a better idea. I drove quite a way from Aviemore to get to the funicular station. This is the half way point from inside it.

It was wet  ::)
