The report, published in 1945 proposed that five areas (<a href="/wiki/Loch_Lomond_and_The_Trossachs_National_Park" title="Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park">Loch Lomond and the Trossachs</a>, the <a href="/wiki/Cairngorms" title="Cairngorms">Cairngorms</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ben_Nevis_and_Glen_Coe_National_Scenic_Area" title="Ben Nevis and Glen Coe National Scenic Area">Glen Coe-Ben Nevis-Black Mount</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wester_Ross" title="Wester Ross">Wester Ross</a> and <a href="/wiki/Glen_Strathfarrar" title="Glen Strathfarrar">Glen Strathfarrar</a>-<a href="/wiki/Glen_Affric" title="Glen Affric">Glen Affric</a>-<a href="/wiki/Glen_Cannich" title="Glen Cannich">Glen Cannich</a>) should receive a level of protection.<sup id="cite_ref-cairngom-history_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-cairngom-history-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Accordingly, the government designated these areas as "national park direction areas", giving powers for planning decisions taken by local authorities to be reviewed by central government. Following a further review of landscape protection in 1978, additional areas, including the western parts of the <a href="/wiki/Lochaber" title="Lochaber">Lochaber</a> district, were identified as worthy of protection due to their landscape qualities.
