Event report - exploring a cultural heritage network for the Cairngorms National Park

This document contains an event report about exploring a cultural heritage network for the Cairngorms National Park, prepared by the Cairngorms National Park Authority and published on 5 December 2025. The report thanks attendees and the short-term working group for their contributions to the event in October. It provides a record of the event, including findings from breakout sessions and discussion groups, and outlines next steps. The event, held on 9 October 2025, brought together 65 people and aimed to provide networking opportunities, consider future collaboration, develop a shared voice for cultural heritage, and influence future policy. Feedback indicated that the event met its networking goals, but strategic cultural heritage matters could be further addressed, with all respondents interested in follow-up activities, and the report also highlights the Park Authority's commitment to organizing a follow-up meeting in March 2026, and the need to safekeep disparate archives, collections and digital community projects.
