The Scottish Highlands

The Scottish Highlands covers nearly 10,000 sq miles in northern Scotland, and is the home to some of the most magnificent scenery in the world, including the legendary Loch Ness. Divided into two regions, the Great Glen divides the Grampian Mountains to the southeast from the northwest Highlands, where three languages are spoken: English, Scots and Gaelic. At around ~4,400 ft in elevation, standing on the western edge of the Grampians' lies Ben Nevis, the tallest mountain in the UK, as well as the historic county of Inverness-shire. Extending about 23 miles southwest of Inverness lies the second largest Scottish loch; the legendary Loch Ness. Loch Ness hold more fresh water than all the lakes in England and Wales combined. ..................................................................................... #art #photography #nature #education #scotland
