Scottish Highlanders

Scottish Highlanders are the native people from the Scottish Highlands, a mountainous region in northern Scotland. Historically, they are known for their distinct culture, including Gaelic language, traditional dress like kilts, and fierce clan loyalties. Highlanders played a significant role in Scottish history, especially during conflicts such as the Jacobite uprisings. Their society was often organized around kinship groups known as clans, which shared traditions, territories, and symbols. Today, Highlanders celebrate their heritage through cultural festivals, music, and preserving Gaelic language and customs.
