The northern part of the island of Great Britain is Scotland. The highlands are wild and picturesque. Their rocky barren summits were chiseled by Ice Age Glaciers and rainfall of many centuries.
Purple heather covers the lower slopes in the summer.
South of the Highlands are the Granpian Mountains highest in the British Isles. Ben Nevis is the tallest peak rises 4,406 Et. Better known is Ben Lomond which rises from the shores of Loch Lomond Scotland's largest lake. The Central Lowlands are not large from South West to North East. The greatest distance is nearly 90 miles, but is only 30 miles narrow across the waist of Scotland.
