To
aid map navigation, mainland Scotland and the Western Isles have been
split into the following three regions:
|
||||||
|
The
south end of the Inner Hebrides can be found off the coast of the mountainous
area of Central Scotland. Many of the counties, including Argyllshire,
Inverness-shire and Perthshire, conceal a wealth of lochs and deep glaciated
valleys, with dense woodland covering much of the south west region. The
city of Inverness is the road, rail, and air hub for northern Scotland,
with the cities of Aberdeen and Dundee located on the east coast.
|
||||||
|
The
north end of the Inner Hebrides and all of the Outer Hebrides are located
off the coast of North Scotland. Mountainous, rugged and sparsely populated,
Ross-shire & Cromarty, Sutherland and Caithness are largely covered
in moorland. There are no cities to be found in this region of Scotland.
|
||||||
|
The
Isle of Arran and Bute lie off the west coast of South Scotland, an area
of hilly, fertile farmland, with little urbanisation outside of the three
major cities. The beautiful unspoilt hills of the Scottish Borders lie
to the south of the capital Edinburgh, and Stirling lies in the wooded
valleys of the Trossachs National Park that occupy a vast area of land
just to the north of Glasgow, Scotland's largest city.

|
In
addition to the above, you can also go directly to the Orkney
Islands or the Shetland
Islands.
