Running from April 4-18, this year’s dedicated fortnight has been understandably low-key due to travel restrictions meaning only the lucky few are able to enjoy all that the parks offer.
But we thought we should still mark the occasion by sharing some stunning pictures of Scotland’s two National Parks – Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, and Cairngorms National Park – along with some facts and figures about the spectacular destinations we’ll hopefully all soon be able to visit again.
