Welcome!!

The Grampian and Cairngorm region of Scotland offers an environment which cannot fail to impress those willing to seek a more challenging way to undertake the Expedition Section of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. The importance of the area to Scotland cannot be under estimated and this has been underlined by the recent designation of the Cairngorm region as a National Park.

As one of the most significant wild country areas in the United Kingdom, Grampian & Cairngorm offers up majestic mountains, wide open moorland, deep lochs, tumbling salmon-rich rivers and some of the most challenging walking routes in the UK.

The GRAMPIAN & CAIRNGORM Wild Country Panel exists to offer you a gateway to all of this so you can appreciate for yourself one of the finest scenic areas Scotland has to offer. We can enable you to venture into areas many have heard of but comparatively few have seen. Although many areas require participants to be fit and well trained, such is the diversity of the area that we have something to offer everyone including those with special needs.

So if you’re interested, read on and we look forward to welcoming you to the region. We are sure you will enjoy your visit!
