Highland

"Highland" is the part of Scotland north of the line that divides it from the Lowland region. The Regulations describe this line from the North Channel to the North Sea, passing Greenock, the Campsie Fells, the Wallace Monument, Milnathort and the River Tay. "Islands" is a common informal grouping, not a protected name. The Scotch Whisky Association says the region "also takes in the islands" and has a huge diversity of styles.
