Cairngorms: A Secret History is a series of journeys exploring
barely known human and natural stories of the Cairngorm Mountains.
It looks at a unique British landscape, its last great wilderness,
with new eyes. History combines with travelogue in a vivid account
of this elemental scenery. There have been rare human incursions
into the Cairngorm plateau, and Patrick Baker tracks them down. He
traces elusive wildlife and relives ghostly sightings on the summit
of Ben Macdui. From the search for a long-forgotten climbing
shelter and the locating of ancient gem mines, to the discovery of
skeletal aircraft remains and the hunt for a mysterious
nineteenth-century aristocratic settlement, he seeks out the
unlikeliest and most interesting of features in places far off the
beaten track. The cultural and human impact of this stunning
landscape and reflections on the history of mountaineering are the
threads which bind this compelling narrative together.
