Almost £11m of lottery funding has been awarded to a project to make the Cairngorms the UK's first net zero national park.

The park authority (CNPA) has proposed creating more than 2,470 acres (1,000ha) of new woodland and restoring 16,061 acres (6,500ha) of peatland.

It also plans to improve walking and cycling routes and pioneer nature-friendly farming to help it reduce emissions and absorb carbon dioxide.

But CNPA has faced criticism from farmers and crofters who claimed the organisation was ignoring concerns about some conservation measures.
