Of course, here at Glentrek,
we already rate the Cairngorms very, very highly. With the national park on our
doorstep, we’re intimately familiar with its beautiful and magnificent landscape.
And now leading worldwide publication, the National Geographic, has ranked the
Cairngorms among the last great places on Earth
The list includes other such
places as unspoiled beauty, such as Madagascar, the Gobi Desert and the
Galapagos Islands.
The US magazine has included
the Cairngorms in its 50 of the World’s Last Great Places, describing it as a “destination
of a lifetime”.
And Scottish promoters could
not be more thrilled. VisitScotland chairman Mike Cantlay is reported as
saying: “Our country boasts some of the most stunning landscapes in the world,
so it’s no surprise the Cairngorms has been named as a must-visit destination
by National Geographic.”
And Duncan Bryden, convener
of the Cairngorms National Park Authority, added: “We are absolutely delighted
with this accolade and to be the only UK entry is simply fantastic.”
In a press release, a
spokesman for National Geographic said: “Our spirits are refreshed by such
pristine locations as the Cairngorms.”
If you’re looking for a
great Christmas present for someone special why not treat them to a guided
walking trip to the Cairngorms (Glentrek can help!)? You can also buy them “50
of the World’s Last Great Places” published by National Geographic for £6.99.
