Located in northwest Europe, Scotland is one of the four countries that
comprise the United Kingdom. Spanning more than 30,000 square miles,
it takes up the northern third of Great Britain, and is bordered on the
south by England. Surrounded by water, Scotland is bordered by the
North Sea on the east, the Atlantic Ocean on the north and west, and the
North Channel and the Irish Sea to the southwest. In addition to
the mainland, there are 790 islands that make up Scotland.
Scotland's waters, which contain some of the largest oil reserves in
Europe, are known to be some of the region's richest fishing grounds.

The Western Isles are known for their rugged, natural beauty, as well as for the incredible diversity between them. You can find rugged seacoast, mountainous areas, glens, and lochs, as well as hills and moors, on the Western Isles. The Highlands include the lands and islands north of the Highland Boundary Fault. The great mountain ranges lie in the middle and west of the region, while the east coast is relatively flat. The Lowlands and Borders are a series of flat lands and coastal areas along Scotland's northern coast.
