  2. Islands Scotland has about 790 islands, most of which are located off the northern and western coast of the country.  The northern and western islands of Scotland can be found in three main groups: Shetland, Orkney and the Hebrides which can be divided into the Inner Hebrides and the Outer Hebrides.

  3. Extreme points The extreme points of the Scottish mainland are: North: Easter Head, Dunnet Head, Caithness East: Keith Inch, Peterhead, Aberdeenshire South: Mull of Galloway, Dumfries and Galloway West: CorrachadhMòr, Ardnamurchan(headland), Lochaber The geographical centre of Scotland lies a few miles from the village of Newtonmore in Badenoch.

  4. Peaks Mountains in Scotland are categorised by their height. Peaks over 3,000 ft are known as Munros. There are 284 Munros in Scotland, all within the Highlands. Corbetts are peaks about 2,500-3,000 ft, with a relative height of at least 500 ft. Ben Nevis is the highest peak in Great Britain.

  5. Topography The southern 20% or so of the country makes up the Southern Uplands, a pastoral upland area characterised by lines of hills divided by broad valleys. The Central Lowlands can be thought of, very roughly, as the next 20% of the country as you progress north from the English Border and include the Forth-Clyde valley. By far the largest zone, the Highlands comprises the north western 60% of Scotland. The Highlands are extensive mountainous.
