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.
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
Originally recorded on VHS in 1992, this File is based on a DVD recording and several Hours "tuning". Sad to say that my old Videotape didn't got better with the Years :)The First part of the Video is a re-edit of later Scenes from the Video. Unfortunately i missed the first Minute of the Video back in 92. Please comment...

Somewhere far north of Achievement City, six towers have dislodged themselves from the ground and are now floating in the sky. Each tower has a flag. Each tower has an Achievement Hunter. He who controls all six flags controls the towers. He who controls the towers wins the only tower that really matters - the Tower of Pimps. ||| Join FIRST for exclusive Let’s Play content: http://bit.ly/295K1xP ||| Get yer Let’s Play merch: http://bit.ly/2dn2Z3g Rooster Teeth Store: http://bit.ly/29dfCeX Achievement Hunter: http://achievementhunter.com Rooster Teeth: http://roosterteeth.com RTX: http://rtxevent.com Business Inquiries: http://bit.ly/1DZ77uy Subscribe to the Let's Play Channel: http://bit.ly/1BuRgl1 Subscribe to the Achievement Hunter Channel: http://bit.ly/AHYTChannel Subscribe to the ...

(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
