About Scottish Highlands
The Scottish Highlands are a mountainous region encompassing northwest Scotland. Loch Ness is at the centre, overlooked by the ruins of medieval Urquhart Castle and known for mythical monster “Nessie”. Northeast, near the city of Inverness, dolphins swim in the Moray Firth. Southwest, in the Western Highlands, trails wind up Ben Nevis, the U. K. 's highest peak, and red deer roam Glencoe valley with its waterfalls.

Resc-ewed: Britain's loneliest sheep saved from shoreline
A ewe that was dubbed Britain's loneliest sheep has been rescued from a remote shore in the Scottish Highlands .
The Sheep , now named Fiona, had been stranded at the foot of cliffs on the Cromarty Firth for at least two years.
An animal welfare charity had said any attempts to rescue her would be " incredibly complex".
But a group of five men have now managed to haul her up a steep slope. They plan to shear her overgrown fleece and hand her over to a farm park.
The Rescue mission was organised by Cammy Wilson, a sheep shearer from Ayrshire, after seeing media coverage of the ewe's plight.
Mr Wilson, who is a presenter on The Bbc 's Landward programme, organised The Rescue in a personal capacity along with four others.
Speaking in the video posted on, He Said : " We've come up here with some with some heavy equipment and we've got this sheep up an incredibly steep slope.
" She's in incredible condition. She is about a condition score of about 4. 5, she is overfat - it was some job lifting her up that slope.
" She is going to a very special place that a lot of you know very well, where you'll be able to see her virtually Every Day . "
The Scottish SPCA said they had been aware of the ewe being stranded at the bottom of the cliff for some time but were unable to find a safe way to rescue her.
A spokesperson for The Charity said: " This Morning the Scottish SPCA were in attendance at the hillside after they were made aware that a group of individuals with climbing expertise were attempting to rescue The Stranded sheep by descending down to where she was trapped.
" The Team brought the ewe up successfully and our inspector examined her.
" Thankfully The Sheep is in good bodily condition, aside from needing to be sheared. She will now be taken to a specialist home within Scotland to rest and recover. "
Mr Wilson told The Bbc that Fiona would receive a much-needed groom in The Coming days.
The Sheep made national headlines after a kayaker took a photograph and shared concerns about her welfare.
Jill Turner, from Brora, told she first came across the ewe while kayaking in 2021.
She was shocked to discover she was Still There two years later, and pleaded for someone to rescue her.
A petition calling for a rescue operation has gathered More Than 52,000 signatures.
