Cairngorms
around 427 million years ago the Cairngorm granite was formed by magma cooling in the earth's crust. When the Cairngorm granite became exposed to the earths surface 390-400 million years ago, rivers and erosion led to the formation of valleys, straths and glens. Ben Macdui is found here and is the second highest mountain in the UK standing at 1,309m.
