Running
Perhaps the most famous mountain in the Cairngorms. A classic running Munro with numerous routes leading to the summit. The Weather Station here has recorded the record wind speeds in the UK, a blustering 176mph!

Running
Cairn Gorm is one of the best known summits in Scotland, and despite not being the highest has lent its name to this whole mountain range. It has heavily developed for ski-ing and by the funicular railway to the Ptarmigan restaurant, detracting greatly from its wildness and the experience of climbing it on foot.
