Geography of Scotland !
The geography of Scotland is highly varied, from rural lowlands to barren uplands, and from large cities to
uninhabited islands. Located in northwest Europe, Scotland comprises the northern one third of the island of
Great Britain and over 790 surrounding islands and archipelagoes.
Scotland's only land border is with England, which runs for 96 kilometres (60 mi) in a northeasterly direction
from the Solway Firth in the west to the North Sea on the east coast. Separated by the North Channel, the
island of Ireland lies 30 kilometres (20 mi) from the southwest tip of the Scottish mainland. Norway is located
305 kilometres (190 mi) to the northeast of Scotland across the North Sea. The Atlantic Ocean, which fringes
the coastline of western and northern Scotland and its islands, influences the temperate, maritime climate of the
country.
