Cairngorm­s­To­geth­er — A Frame­work for Communicating

Con­fid­ence For Com­munit­ies, Employ­ees and Visitors

Provid­ing a warm wel­come and excep­tion­al exper­i­ences to people from near and far is part of our cul­ture in the Cairngorms Nation­al Park.

We value that vis­it­ors choose to spend their pre­cious leis­ure time with fam­ily, friends and loved ones, here, with us. We have missed them. To help care for the Cairngorms and each oth­er we have developed a frame­work for com­mu­nic­at­ing con­fid­ence for our com­munit­ies, busi­nesses and vis­it­ors. Our aim is to make it as easy as pos­sible for us all to do the right thing.

Know the Guidelines

• Busi­nesses and those with respons­ib­il­it­ies for pub­lic spaces keep up to date, under­stand and abide by the rel­ev­ant guidelines; under­stand how guidelines apply to pro­tect com­munit­ies, employ­ees and our vis­it­ors and explain how they are being implemented.

• Vis­it­ors and cus­tom­ers keep up to date with guidelines, under­stand their respons­ib­il­it­ies, adhere to social dis­tan­cing and pro­tect our employ­ees and com­munit­ies. Respect loc­al meas­ures that have been put in place to ensure we keep every­body as safe as possible.

Plan Ahead

• Busi­nesses and those respons­ible for pub­lic spaces make inform­a­tion avail­able so vis­it­ors, cus­tom­ers and res­id­ents can plan for their exper­i­ence and to do the right thing.

• Cus­tom­ers and vis­it­ors research and plan their trips tak­ing into account avail­able facil­it­ies, toi­let pro­vi­sion etc. Be pre­pared to flex your plan to help us care for our spe­cial envir­on­ment. Be respons­ible and fol­low the Scot­tish Out­door Access Code.

Be Flex­ible

• Busi­nesses oper­ate with­in capa­city restraints and in accord­ance with guidelines, to keep our com­munit­ies, our employ­ees and our vis­it­ors as safe as pos­sible. Where capa­city is reached they will endeav­our to help find altern­at­ive activ­it­ies and ven­ues. We are the largest Nation­al Park in the UK and we can help you find your own safe space.

• We all act under the prin­ciple that if ​‘it feels too busy, it is too busy’, be pre­pared to be flex­ible, move on and save that exper­i­ence for anoth­er day.

Be Kind.
