The Highlands of Scotland
Gàidhealtachd na h-Alba
The Highlands of Scotland is renowned for its beauty, hospitality and lifestyle. It is home to the Cairngorms, Scotland’s second National Park and the largest in the UK, and the new UNESCO ecopark in NW Sutherland. The population of the Highlands is 235,830. Inverness is the administrative and transport hub of the region - a city with over 63,000 inhabitants. It is a fast growing and ambitious centre with international air links. The University of the Highlands and Islands’ new Inverness Campus is one of the most ambitious projects in Scotland. Opened in 2015, it is a nationally and internationally significant location for business, research, education and has a thriving life sciences community. The Council and our partners signed a City-Region Deal worth £315 million in 2017 and this is delivering a range of exciting projects over a 10 year period.
