About the National Parks Explorer
You couldn't get two more different National Parks than the 'Loch Lomond and the Trossachs' and the 'Cairngorms' ones, but yet united in the variety of their landscapes, habitats, lifestyles and objectives. This two centre trips (Aberfoyle and Kingussie) lets us in behind the vista to discover mysterious islands, hidden lochans, wonderful pine woodlands and the people and wildlife which occupy them.
