Inverness is Scotland's northern most city, the traditional capital of the Scottish Highlands. The wider region of the Highlands, including the Orkney and Shetland Isles, the Western Isles, and Argyll and Bute are home to some of Scotland's most incredible landscapes, sea views and dramatic mountain ranges.
A region steeped in the romance of uprisings, battles and emigration - tourists flock to the highlands each year to reconnect with old family roots and to feel the spirit of Scotland. But beneath this typical picture of Highland Scotland there lies a region linked by a unique 13 campus University, which boasts considerable natural resources including renewable energy, aquaculture, and oil and gas, and a region with unique expertise in robotics, life sciences and in the very near future a space port for Europe.
