[:ja]国際宇宙ステーションISSから撮影されたスコットランドのハイランド地方です。

ハイランド地方は、ハイランド境界断層北側および西側の荒れた山がちな地域を含むスコットランドの一部です。スコットランドでのジャコバイトの台頭に続くハイランドの伝統的な方式の非合法化などの要因が複合した、悪名高き土地清掃と、産業革命期の都市部への大量移入の結果、現在ではヨーロッパで最も人口密度の低い地域の一つとなっています。文化的にローランド地方とは大きく異なり、ゲール圏(Gàidhealtachd) に属し、ここ百年間はスコットランド・ゲール語が用いられていました。また、ハイランド地方とアイルランドには、ゲール語、スポーツ(シンティやハーリング)、ケルト音楽など文化的共通項があります。

[Earthview Wonders] No.512: Scottish Highlands🏴
ISS captured beautiful Scottish Highlands.

The Highlands are a historic region of Scotland. In Scottish Gaelic, the region is known as the Gàidhealtachd, because it was traditionally the Gaelic-speaking part of Scotland, although the language is now largely confined to The Hebrides. Due to 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 local scenery on the ground is as follows.
