# Liste der Städte und Orte im Highland Council Area

Highland (schottisch-gälisch Gàidhealtachd) ist eine der 32 Council Areas in Schottland. Der flächenmäßig größte schottische Verwaltungsbezirk umfasst die traditionellen Grafschaften Caithness, Cromartyshire, Inverness-shire, Nairnshire, Ross-shire, Sutherland sowie den nordwestlichen Teil von Argyll. Der Verwaltungsbezirk umfasst nur einen Teil der geographischen Highlands.

## Gliederung

Intern untergliedert sich die Highland Council Area in insgesamt 21 Wards (Verwaltungseinheiten). Diese dienen einerseits als Wahlbezirke, die, je nach Bevölkerungszahl, drei oder vier Mitglieder in den Rat entsenden, andererseits als interne regionsbezogene Organisationseinheiten, denen ein jährlicher fester Geldbetrag zur eigenständigen, frei verwendbaren Verfügung gewährt wird. Geleitet werden sie jeweils von einem Ward Manager, wobei einzelne dieser Personen auch mehrere Wards gleichzeitig betreuen können. Neben inhaltsbezogenen bestehen auch acht raumbezogene Komitees, die sowohl vom Namen wie vom Zuständigkeitsbereich an die ehemaligen Districts anknüpfen. Ab 2005 waren sechs hiervon paarweise zusammengefasst, sie wurden 2015 aber wieder getrennt. Aufgrund der großen Ausdehnung von Highland, die Council Area umfasst rund ein Drittel der Gesamtfläche Schottland, existiert eine Vielzahl von Außenstellen der Verwaltung.
Auf lokaler Ebene gliedert sich Highland in 156 Community Council Areas, deren von der Bevölkerung gewählte Gremien als Community Council bezeichnet werden.
