Article History

Glenmore, national forest park in the foothills of the Cairngorm Mountains, Highland council area, north-central Scotland. Established in 1948 and comprising 12,000 acres (5,000 hectares), the park extends upward from 1,000 feet (300 metres) near the town of Aviemore to include the summit of Cairn Gorm at an elevation of 4,084 feet (1,245 metres). A road and chairlift provide access to within 400 feet (120 metres) of the summit. The park offers the best skiing in Britain, excellent climbing and walking, and sailing 1,000 feet above sea level on Loch Morlich.
