This beautiful view in which the 4,000 high foot plateau of the Cairngorm range of mountains in Scotland, would make a fine poster or print for your home or office. The view is from Kincraig. The geology of the Cairngorms is complex, however, the main rock is granite which has been forced up from 7 kilometres down inside the Earth by volcanic plume action as a pluton. For climbers and walkers, the area is similar to the northern Arctic, with low temperatures, high winds and heavy snowfall. It is easy to get lost in cloud and full survival equipment and navigation skills are vital, There is also a famous `ghost` called `The Grey Man of Ben Macdhui` to contend with.
