More About Scottish Countryside
Overview
There are two major regions of the Scottish Countryside, the Highlands and the Lowlands. The Highlands refers to anything north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault while the Lowlands refers to anything not included in the Highlands. The Highland area differs from the Lowlands in language and tradition, having preserved Gaelic speech and customs leading to the perceived divide between Highlander and Lowlander dating back to the 14th century.
The Scottish Highlands is a sparsely populated area of the country that contains most of Scotland's mountain ranges, including the highest peak, Ben Nevis. Today, the Scottish Highlands is the largest of Scotland's whiskey-producing regions with more than 30 distilleries in operation.
Unlike the Scottish Highlands, the Scottish Lowlands is not named after its terrain; it is merely the best way to identify areas of Scotland outside of the Highlands. This area includes the Central Belt, an area where most of the major towns and cities are found, including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, and Perth. This area makes up roughly 80% of the country’s population.
