| Description: | Panoramic view from summit of Cairngorm looking south-west towards Cairn Toul, Braeriach, Lurcher's Crag, Cairn Lochan and Coire an t-Sneachda, Inverness-shire. The Cairngorm plateau forms the largest single area of land in the British Isles over 900 m. Because of their height and position the Cairngorms have close to an arctic climate. The tops are part of an ancient pre-glacial surface now deeply eroded by successive glaciations. The dominant landforms of this glacial erosion are the deep glacial troughs and the high-level corries. |
