Queen Victoria's Scottish Highlands

Queen Victoria of United Kingdom has popularized the Highlands more than anyone else did. She had been known for making an extensive travel of Scotland during her reign but she was the most impressed by the Atholl and Breadalbane highland areas. Highland Perthshire is made up of these two highlands mainly, also including some of the most spectacular forests, lochs, tumbling streams, mountains, moorlands and mighty rivers. That is the reason why this region has been known as Queen Victoria's Scottish Highlands. Queen Victoria's Scottish Highlands forms part of one of the most fabulous natural sights of Europe.

Queen Victoria did spend a 3 whole weeks at the Blair Atholl and Blair Castle during her first visit, she visited all the places of interest that she could during her stay in the Scottish Highlands. The Scottish Highlands mainly include the hilly and inaccessible areas of Scotland, lying on the northern and western part of the Highland Boundary Fault. In the southeastern part, the Northwest Highlands is divided from the Grampian Mountains by the Great Glens.

This area is usually scarcely populated, with quite a few mountain ranges bordering the area. The island housed a much larger population before the turn of the 19th century. However, these Highlands suffered due to a number of factors, like the passing of laws against the traditional way of life of the Highlands after the Second Jacobite Rising, the famous Highland Clearances, as well as the mass escape of the people to the more urban areas at the time of the Industrial Revolution. Thus, today it is so thinly populated. These Highlands and Islands have a lower population density than Sweden, Norway, Papua New Guinea as well as Argentina. Inverness is the administrative point of the Highlands.
