Cairngorms recreated in video game Minecraft 26 February 2021 The Cairngorms' landscape was recreated in Minecraft to help young people learn how a national parks works. The virtual world, where players can build anything with blocks, covers 1,700 square miles (4,402 square km) of park, which also includes parts from Highland, Moray Aberdeenshire, Perthshire, and Perthshire. The settlements were destroyed and Cairngorms Youth Activity Team members are being asked to create new communities. It's designed to get them thinking about the planning decisions they make. However, it is fair that the team doesn't take it very seriously. Minecraft allows you to create remote islands. Campbell, a sixteen-year-old from Aviemore, has been building a hill fort at Cairn Gorm's top. It is one of the UK’s tallest mountains.

It's as realistic a reality as you can get. You know what area you're in by the different types of trees and if there are trees or not. Ellie Moore, another player, said: While you're trying to build things or farm there's this constant bombardment of monsters that come out at night. So, it's been quite hard to venture out into the world because you're constantly trying to survive but I'd say where we've been so far has been relatively accurate. Recreating the park was a lockdown project which Dan Harris carried out in his spare time. He is the planning manager for Cairngorms Park Authority during the day. He said, They're basically placed on the map at Aviemore. They've been asked create a community that meets all the requirements of the national parks. They need to think about how they can protect and enhance the natural world and how they can sustainably use resources.
