Conservationists say the Cairngorms has its first wild-born beavers since the animals died out in Scotland more than 400 years ago.

The two babies, called kits, were born following the release of four beaver families at selected sites in the Cairngorms National Park late last year.

The first kit was born on land owned by Wildland Cairngorms Ltd and the second at Rothiemurchus, near Aviemore.
