The answer

Answered by Lewis Macdonald on 10 Nov 2004 · 26 days after it was lodged, on time

There are no plans to revise the boundaries of the Cairngorms National Park. The Parliament approved the boundaries of the park on 12 December 2002. The area as designated has a strong coherent identity and a distinctive character. At some 3,800 sq kms, the park is the largest National Park in the UK and is amongst the largest in Europe.
