The mainland\npart measures 94 miles in length, 56 miles\nin greatest breadth, and 4255 square miles\nin area ; is bisected lengthwise by the\nGreat Glen ; and contains the western\nportion of Moray province, the sections of\nAird, Strathglass, Glenurquhart, Glen-\nmoriston, Glengarry, and Glenarchaig,\nand the districts of Badenoch, Lochaber,\nMoydart, Arasaig, Morar, Krioydart, and\nGlenelg. The north-eastern section for a\nfew miles round Inverness onward to\nnorth-eastern extremity is low country,\nmostly fertile and ornate ; but nearly all\nthe rest consists of lofty mountains, with\nintersections of straths or deep glens, and\ninterspersions of wild moors. The moun-\ntains either include or adjoin the loftiest\nsummits in Scotland, have many diver-\nsities of contour and arrangement, and\nexhibit in the aggregate great force of\nfeature ; and the straths and glens, for the\nmost part, abound in charms of wood,\nwater, and cultivation. Chief fresh-water\nlakes are Ness, Oich, and Lochy in Great\nGlen ; Laggan and Treig in Lochaber ;\nInsch in Badenoch ; Clunie in Glenmoris-\nton ; Quoich and Garry in Glengarry ; Ar-\nch aig in Glenarchaig ; Monar, Banchran,\nMiulie, Molardich, Affrick, and Beneveian\nin Strathglass ; Morar between Morar and\nArasaig, and Sliiel on boundary with\nArgyleshire. Chief rivers are the Spey in\nBadenoch, the Spean in Lochaber, the\nNess and the Lochy in respectively the\nnorth-east and south-west of Great Glen,\nthe Beauly and its head-streams in Strath-\nglass, the upper parts of the Nairn and\nthe Findhorn in the north-east, the Dul-\nnain running through Duthil to the Spey,\nand the streams traversing the chief lateral\nglens. The chief sea-lochs are Hourn,\nbetween Glenelg and Knoydart; Nevis,\nbetween Knoydart and Arasaig; Aylort,\nbetween Arasaig and Moydart ; and Eil\nand Leven, on boundary with Argyleshire.\nOld red sandstone prevails in the north-\neastern tract of low country, and is mostly\ncovered with fertile soil ; but granite,\ntrap, and metamorphic rocks prevail in\nthe mountains and glens, and have small\neconomical value. Agriculture is well\npractised in the low tracts ; sea-fishing is\nplied on the coasts ; and the rearing of\nbovine cattle and sheep is the chief occu-\npation in the uplands. The principal\nislands are Skye, Raasay, Rum, Eigg,\nHarris, North Uist, Benbecula, South\nUist, and Barra, and will be found noticed\nin their respective alphabetical places.\nPlaces notable in the history of the High-\nland clans, and antiquities of the ancient\nCaledonian times, are numerous. The\nonly town with more than 14,000 inhabi-\ntants is Inverness ; the only other one\nwith more than 1000 is Fort-William ; and\nthe only villages with more than 300 in-\nhabitants are Beauly, Campbelton, Por-\ntree, Kingussie, and Newtonmore.

The mainland part measures 94 miles in length, 56 miles in greatest breadth, and 4255 square miles in area ; is bisected lengthwise by the Great Glen ; and contains the western portion of Moray province, the sections of Aird, Strathglass, Glenurquhart, Glen-moriston, Glengarry, and Glenarchaig, and the districts of Badenoch, Lochaber, Moydart, Arasaig, Morar, Krioydart, and Glenelg. The north-eastern section for a few miles round Inverness onward to north-eastern extremity is low country, mostly fertile and ornate ; but nearly all the rest consists of lofty mountains, with intersections of straths or deep glens, and interspersions of wild moors. The mountains either include or adjoin the loftiest summits in Scotland, have many diversities of contour and arrangement, and exhibit in the aggregate great force of feature ; and the straths and glens, for the most part, abound in charms of wood, water, and cultivation. Chief fresh-water lakes are Ness, Oich, and Lochy in Great Glen ; Laggan and Treig in Lochaber ; Insch in Badenoch ; Clunie in Glenmoris-ton ; Quoich and Garry in Glengarry ; Ar-ch aig in Glenarchaig ; Monar, Banchran, Miulie, Molardich, Affrick, and Beneveian in Strathglass ; Morar between Morar and Arasaig, and Sliiel on boundary with Argyleshire. Chief rivers are the Spey in Badenoch, the Spean in Lochaber, the Ness and the Lochy in respectively the north-east and south-west of Great Glen, the Beauly and its head-streams in Strathglass, the upper parts of the Nairn and the Findhorn in the north-east, the Dulnain running through Duthil to the Spey, and the streams traversing the chief lateral glens. The chief sea-lochs are Hourn, between Glenelg and Knoydart; Nevis, between Knoydart and Arasaig; Aylort, between Arasaig and Moydart ; and Eil and Leven, on boundary with Argyleshire. Old red sandstone prevails in the north-eastern tract of low country, and is mostly covered with fertile soil ; but granite, trap, and metamorphic rocks prevail in the mountains and glens, and have small economical value. Agriculture is well practised in the low tracts ; sea-fishing is plied on the coasts ; and the rearing of bovine cattle and sheep is the chief occupation in the uplands. The principal islands are Skye, Raasay, Rum, Eigg, Harris, North Uist, Benbecula, South Uist, and Barra, and will be found noticed in their respective alphabetical places.
