The Cairngorms make a backdrop for the ever changing weather in the Highlands of Scotland.
The Lecht Mine near Tomintoul, in the Cairngorms, Highlands, Scotland. This building (from about 1841) is all that is left from a prosperous iron manganese mining operation that employed 60+ people before falling into disuse due to cheap imports of manganese from Russia. The building was restored and re roofed in the 1980's.
Just outside of Braemar in the Cairngorms, Highlands, Scotland is the Linn of Quoich (branching off from the Linn of Dee). Near the top of the image you can see the Earl of Mar's punchbowl. Queen Victoria was fond of this spot.
