CAIRNGORM SUMMIT AUTOMATIC WEATHER STATION--THE HIGHEST IN BRITAIN.So violent can conditions be at this altitude, that the equipment only emerges at half-hourly intervals to briefly sample & relay the various weather elements.Although the Cairngorms in general are far from the wettest mountains in Scotland & do not hold the record for the lowest temperatures recorded in Britain(that priviledge falls to Braemar, Altnaharra & Grantown on Spey)the Cairngorms nevertheless are home to some of the most extreme weather conditions anywhere in the country
