Cairngorms recreated in video game Minecraft
26 February 2021
To help youngsters learn how to manage an area of national park, the Cairngorms landscape has been recreated in Minecraft.
The virtual world, where players can create anything with blocks, covers all 1,700 sq miles (4,402 sq km) of the park, which covers parts of Highland, Moray, Aberdeenshire and Perthshire.
The settlements were destroyed and Cairngorms Youth Activity Team members are being requested to establish new communities.
It's designed to get them thinking about how planning decisions are taken.
It is fair to say, however, that the team doesn't take it seriously.

Sixteen-year-old Campbell from Aviemore says he's been building a hill fort at the top of Cairn Gorm which is one of the UK's tallest mountains.
He explained that although it doesn't transmit temperature very well, it does get the landscape.
"We've seen the corries and climbed the Cairngorms. The Lairig Ghru is quite recognisable.
"It's as realistic as can be. You know the area you're in by the various kinds of trees and also if there are trees or not."
Fellow player Ellie Moore said: "While we're trying to build things and farm, we're faced with the constant threat of enemies and monsters that are out at night.
"So, it's been quite difficult to travel out into the world, as you're constantly fighting to survive however, I'd say where we've been so far has been pretty accurate."
Re-creating the park was the result of a lockdown project Dan Harris carried out in his spare time.
He is the planning manager for Cairngorms Park Authority during the day.
He explained: "They're basically dropped onto the map at the point in the area where Aviemore should be and have been asked to create an area or community that is in line with the objectives of the national park.
"So the things they need to begin thinking about are ways to protect and enhance the natural environment and how they make sustainable use of resources."
