2. The Cairngorms

Hillwakers and mountaineers regularly used the White Lady chairlift (which was replaced by the funicular) to reach the summit of Cairn Gorm, which would allow access to other mountains within the range. This is not possible using the funicular- as non-skiing visitors cannot access the mountain from the Ptarmigan - so walkers and climbers have to begin their ascent from the Coire Cas car park. Despite many environmentalists having grave reservations about the funicular, the railway still has many supporters. |
