Title

Cairngorms National Park Designated Boundary

Abstract

The Cairngorms National Park was established in March 2003 under The Cairngorms National Park Designation, Transitional and Consequential Provisions (Scotland) Order 2003. The boundary was extended as part of the Cairngorms National Park Designation, Transitinal and Consequential Provisions (Scotland) Order 2003 Modification Order 2010. In the designation Order, the boundary is defined by the line on the deposited maps. This dataset represents that line. The aim of Scotland's National Parks is to deliver better management of areas of outstanding natural and cultural heritage. They aim to: conserve and enhance the natural and cultural heritage, promote the sustainable use of natural resources of the area, promote understanding and enjoyment (including enjoyment in the form of recreation) of the special qualities of the area by the public and promote sustainable social and economic development of the communities of the area.

Lineage

Data was created using Ordnance Survey digital mapping. The boundary was digitised against 10K raster data and it is also believed that Panorama data was used. Legislation provides that boundary changes have to be consulted on and made through an appropriate SSI. Ministers would propose the change and the Scottish Parliament would make the decision. This is not envisaged to be a frequent process.
