I'm not sure why you are having trouble finding info on the Scottish
Highlands. I would think that would be one of the easiest to research.

Anyway, here are some of the files in my Florilegium that might prove
useful. There are a number of other sites on the web that cover
Scotland. I've stopped adding much to my files on Scotland simply
because there was so much else out there on more specialized sites.
