Place Objectives
C10. Cultural heritage
The historic environment, history and culture of the National Park is a foundation of our communities and economy that is not always shared or valued sufficiently. There is also a key link between the culture of the Cairngorms and the natural environment itself, with people having played such a significant role in shaping the landscapes of the National Park for centuries. There are opportunities to develop the cultural heritage assets of the National Park as part of a move to a wellbeing economy.
There is also a need to recognise the role of Scots / Doric in the National Park (alongside that of Gaelic) and to support its use where appropriate.
