As part of an MSc dissertation in Sustainable Mountain Development, a student at The Centre for Mountain Studies, Perth College is conducting a survey of hill users. The survey explores hill users' opinions about upland paths. and how upland pathwork might be funded.

This survey is being carried out both by face-to-face interviews at access point in the Cairngorms National Park and also via an online questionnaire. To make the results as representative as possible it is hoped that as many surveys as possible will be completed. The online survey will run until the end of August.
