Northwest Highlands
The
Northwest Highlands
are located in the northern third of
Scotland
that is separated from the
Grampian Mountains
by the
Great Glen
(Glen More). The region comprises
Wester Ross
,
Assynt
,
Sutherland
and part of
Caithness
. The
Caledonian Canal
, which extends from
Loch Linnhe
in the south-west, via
Loch Ness
to the
Moray Firth
in the north-east splits this area from the rest of the country. The city of
Inverness
and the town of
Fort William
, by far the two largest settlements in the area, are both close to the boundary between the Northwest Highlands and the
Grampian Mountains
.
