The term highland or uplands is used to denote any mountainous region or elevated mountainous plateau. Generally speaking, upland (or uplands) tends to refer to ranges of hills, typically up to 500-600 m. Highland (or highlands) is usually reserved for ranges of low mountains.
Probably the most known highlands in the anglophone world are the Scottish Highlands in the United Kingdom, the mountainous region north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault. The Highland council area is a local government area in the Scottish Highlands and Britain's largest local government area.
Many countries have areas that are officially or unofficially referred to as highlands. Other than Scotland, these include parts Ethiopia, Kenya, Eritrea, Yemen, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, Syria, Cantabria and Nova Scotia (the latter being Latin for 'New Scotland' due to its resemblance to the country).
Synonymous terms used in other countries include high country, used in New Zealand, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and Southern Queensland in Australia, and parts of the United States (notably Western North Carolina), and highveld, used in South Africa.
Originally recorded on VHS in 1992, this File is based on a DVD recording and several Hours "tuning".

Unfortunately i missed the first Minute of the Video back in 92. Please comment...

In Scotland, legends of Bonnie Prince Charlie swirl with pipers and kilts around crumbling castles. We remember Highland massacres in Glencoe, and try tossing a caber (log) at a Scottish clan gathering in Culloden. We play hide-and-seek with the Loch Ness Monster, tour a whisky distillery in Oban, and take a ferry to sacred Iona. © 2000 Rick Steves' Europe
John Michie begins his cross country journey at a reconstructed 17th century township in the Highland Folk Museum in Newtonmore in the Cairngorms and visits Castle Urquhart on the banks of Scotland's most famous loch, Loch Ness, to discover what life was like if you were wealthy in the 17th century.

De foute vakantieclip :-)
So i went on an adventure with my friends, and this is the footage from the trip. we where completely in the wilderness and isolated from any form of civilisation, signal and passersby included. The dirt track that you see did not have a single vehicle go past the entire time, we are guessing it is only used in rare circumstances.
(S. Weber/M. Schumpelt/J.O. Soerup)
it was one of those nights with thunder and rain
when they marched to take the plunge
they kept their wives and children in suspense a month of sundays
they carried banners with pride
the enemy appeared on the other side
but only one of them could get the power
