This document contains a final report on the Badenoch Great Place Project (BGPP), a three-year initiative to promote Badenoch's cultural heritage within the Cairngorms National Park (CNP). The project, launched in 2017 and concluding in September 2021, aimed to develop a tourism offering based on the area's history. Activities included auditing cultural sites, creating the "Badenoch The Storylands" brand with an accompanying website and mobile app, developing tourist routes, and hosting a Heritage Festival. The BGPP also supported archaeological digs, storytelling sessions, and community skills building, and has helped to establish a legacy board to ensure the project's sustainability.
