Named after the popular ski location and 6th highest Scottish peak Cairn Gorm, which is translated as either Blue Hill or Green Hill. These mountains were formed around 40 million years ago during the last Ice Age and were once higher than the Alps. However they were long before known as Am Monadh Ruadh or The Red Hills, due to the granite composition. Officially the snowiest part of the UK, the Cairngorms attract many winter sports enthusiasts thr
oughout the colder months of the year. But even when the snow has melted walkers and climbers frequent the region, providing the National Park with visitors all year round.
The Scottish Highlands have long been a source of inspiration for photographer Chris White and the Cairngorms National Park is an area that has captured not only his imagination, but also his heart. During 2015 Chris took regular trips to this highland wilderness, recording the changing seasons and the unique views that only the highlands can offer.
