Cairngorm Funicular RailwayI made this!
I went up a mountain on a train. I went up quite slowly, but you can watch it quite quickly.

I used that when I went skiing last year
Such a strangely designed train, the carriage is like a staircase...

If you are up there in winter, I strongly reccomend sliding down the ski runs on a large plastic bag. It annoys the hell out out of the skiers. Stopping is somewhat "fun"

Agree'd
Waterproof trousers also work surprisingly well, and also stop your bum getting wet, I got some impressive speed down some sections when I ended up walking it a few years back...

What fun!
I presume that despite jolly attractions like this that Aviemore is still the money-grabbing shithole it was when I was last there thirty years ago?
