The nearest ambulance station to Aviemore is ...................Aviemore. (It's in the north end of the High Street). The "50% in 8 minutes" (or is it 75% this week?) CatA criterion most certainly DOES apply; the problem is that - in rural, or very rural, districts - it is very, very hard to achieve. However, we do our best - and it's usually pretty good. Still a point worth remembering, though, if you engage in hazardous activities!!
