Download or read book The Cairngorms written by Patrick Baker and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A travelogue exploring the colorful history of the Scottish mountain range, by the author of The Unremembered Places. Cairngorms: A Secret History is a series of journeys exploring barely known human and natural stories of the Cairngorm Mountains. It looks at a unique British landscape, its last great wilderness, with new eyes. History combines with travelogue in a vivid account of this elemental scenery. There have been rare human incursions into the Cairngorm plateau, and Patrick Baker tracks them down. He traces elusive wildlife and relives ghostly sightings on the summit of Ben Macdui. From the search for a long-forgotten climbing shelter and the locating of ancient gem mines, to the discovery of skeletal aircraft remains and the hunt for a mysterious nineteenth-century aristocratic settlement, he seeks out the unlikeliest and most interesting of features in places far off the beaten track. The cultural and human impact of this stunning landscape and reflections on the history of mountaineering are the threads which bind this compelling narrative together. Praise for The Cairngorms “Perfect . . . full of ghosts of walkers past.” —Conde Nast Traveler “Describing a series of walks, Baker illuminates the bleak landscape, revealing the many stories linked to its ruined bothies, ancient gem mines and even haunted summits.” —FT Weekend “Exploring the Cairngorms has been a lifetime fascination for Patrick Baker and in this book he generously shares the results.” —Scotland Magazine “Packed with great stories and vivid descriptions.” —Scotland Outdoor
