What does the idea of a ‘Cairngorms National Park’ mean to the people who live and work there? In these films we contrast six private lives lived out in a National Park. From park ranger to farmer, shop owner to school student and a young mum to a service station proprietor we explore how living in a national park affects their lives. We learn of the conflicts between preserving the wild beauty of the park – which is home to 25% of the UK’s threatened bird, animal and plant species – and providing new homes for its growing population.
