Late Autumn Rivers Highlands Of Scotland

Tour Scotland late Autumn travel video of rivers, with beautiful Scottish music, on visit to the Scottish Highlands. The Highlands; Scottish Gaelic: A’ Ghàidhealtachd, meaning the place of the Gaels,is a historic region of Scotland. The area is very sparsely populated, with many mountain ranges dominating the region. Before the middle of the 19th century the Highlands was home to a much larger population, but from circa 1841 and for the next 160 years, the natural increase in population was exceeded by emigration, mostly to Canada, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, and migration to the industrial cities of Scotland and England. Inverness is traditionally regarded as the Capital of the Highlands, although less so in the Highland parts of Aberdeenshire, Angus, Perthshire and Stirlingshire which look more to Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, and Stirling as their commercial centres. Under some of the wider definitions in use, Aberdeen could be considered the largest city in the Highlands, although it does not share the recent Gaelic cultural history typical of the Highlands proper.
