Highland and Islands regions

The Highland and Islands regions are parts of Scotland known for their stunning natural beauty, rugged landscapes, and rich cultural heritage. The Highlands feature mountains, lochs, and glens, while the Islands include notable places like the Hebrides and Orkney. These areas are less populated than mainland Scotland and have a strong sense of local identity, often characterized by Gaelic culture. The economy relies on tourism, agriculture, and fishing, and both regions face challenges such as remote living and access to services. Their unique landscapes and history make them popular destinations for visitors.
