To aid map navigation, mainland Scotland and the Western Isles have been split into the following three regions:
Central Scotland
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.
North Scotland
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.
South 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.
