Introducing Highlands
Located in the north of mainland Scotland, Highland
is a hybrid of many other counties and was formed
in 1975. This area includes some of the remotest
parts of mainland Scotland and is popular with
tourists for this very reason.
Towns such as Inverness do support a fairly considerable
industrial base alongside the tourist industry
and there is a good train line with other areas
of the United Kingdom. North of Inverness however
there are only infrequent bus services.
Area. 9,806 square miles (25,398 square km).
Pop. (1991 prelim.) 209,419.
