		In mountain areas, and Scotland in particular, remoteness is closely linked to the idea of "the long walk in" and is strongly influenced by indices of landscape character such as terrain, water features, visibility, cultural history, land cover and land management.
		The Cairngorms is the largest area in Britain above the 1,200 metre contour and consists of nine principal mountains, including the second highest in the country, Ben Macdui (1309 metres).
		The remoteness maps of the central Cairngorm Mountains and the access management application for the Mar Lodge Estate amply demonstrate the usefulness of this approach in mapping remote areas and evaluating planning and policy decisions.
