The Highlands of Scotland Map

The area is very sparsely populated, with many mountain ranges dominating the region, and includes the highest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Nevis. Before the 19th century the Highlands was home to a much larger population, but due to a combination of factors including the outlawing of the traditional Highland way of life following the Jacobite Rising of 1745, the infamous Highland Clearances, and mass migration to urban areas during the Industrial Revolution, the area is now one of the most sparsely populated in Europe. The average population density in the Highlands and Islands is lower than that of Sweden, Norway, Papua New Guinea and Argentina.

This map is hand drawn and offers insights into the historical, archaeological, geographical, natural history and culture of the area. The map is A2, 420mm x 600mm approx, 16.5" x 23.5" approx. It is printed in black on quality parchment paper and supplied rolled in a postal tube.
