Family on the summit of Ben Macdui in the Cairngorms National Park.



For those of you familiar with the area, you will of course realise that this is not the top of Ben Macdui, it is in fact the top of Cairngorm, which we passed on our way to Ben Macdui.
From the peak of Scotlands second highest mountain Ben Macdui the stunning landscape of the Cairngorm National Park can be fully appreciated. Reaching there from the Cairngorm Ski Centre, passing over the top of Cairngorm Mountain, makes for a challenging and inspiring day out for visitors to the Scottish Highlands.
