WATCH: See Aviemore and the Cairngorms in Minecraft's famous building blocks
There has been plenty of attention after the Cairngorms became part of the realm of the most popular computer game of all time.
The national park has been recreated without its buildings in Minecraft giving some lucky youngsters a blank canvas to work on to bring their vision to life on screen.
Dan Harris, planning manager at the Cairngorms National Park Authority, has constructed the region in the game's famous blocks but without its actual man-made additions using open data from Ordnance Survey and Forest and Land Scotland.
It has taken Dan – whose hobby is creating massive, detailed and meticulously researched historically themed LEGO models – three months to create the online Cairngorms Minecraft map which he did so in his spare time.
Members of the Cairngorms Youth Action Team (CYAT) have been asked to fill in the canvas via the wonders of Minecraft – a hugely popular game where players of all ages build, mine, battle mobs and explore ever changing landscapes.
The CNPA has said that once the game has been road tested by the youngsters it plans to make the new world more widely available.
