MOUNT MCCABER

The Mount McCaber Space Science Institute is the Highlands' premier Government-run astronomical research institution... Taking full advantage of the famously clear skies over the Cairngorms, the Mount McCaber Space Science Institute operates two of the UK's most important astrophysical research telescopes - the 2m-class Earl Clancarty Telescope, which operates at visible and infrared wavelengths and the 25m-class Heusen Radio Telescope which is capable of operation across a vast span of the microwave and radio spectrum.
