Contested Mountains<\/em> is an historical study of the extraordinary changes in attitudes to Nature and the use of land in the Cairngorms region since 1880. The study looks at early visitor perceptions of the region and the history of rights of way disputes in the area. It also presents an environmental history of the osprey in Scotland, and the history and development of Glenmore National Forest Park, the Aviemore tourist industry, the Cairngorms National Nature Reserve and the Cairngorms National Park ideal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Contested Mountains <\/em>is essential reading for anyone interested in the historical background to present-day debates about land-use and access in the Cairngorms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018A book which will be welcomed by anyone and everyone with an interest in the Cairngorms, in the environment and in the long continuing tensions between the imperatives of nature conservation  on the one hand and the demands of popular recreation and business development on the other…it is a strictly historical and disciplined recount of the way in which the still-unresolved issues of the environment versus competing economic requirements developed.\u2019<\/p>Magnus Magnusson<\/em><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
