description: A secret history lies in the Cairngorm plateau - a series of barely known human and natural stories which have left few traces on the primordial landscape of Britain's last wilderness.Combining history and travelogue, Patrick Baker outlines his quest to reveal something of the overlooked, the obscure and the unobserved in the Cairngorms. As he wanders the primordial landscape, he uncovers the stories behind relics of the past, including an outlaw's hideaway and the skeletal remains of an aircraft, searches for elusive wildlife and recounts ghostly sightings.
