Scotland is a nation in northwest Europe and one of the four constituent countries of the United Kingdom. It occupies the northern third of the island of Great Britain and shares a land border to the south with England. It is bounded by the North Sea to the east, the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west, and the North Channel and Irish Sea to the southwest. Apart from the mainland, Scotland consists of over 790 islands.   Scotland is divided into 32 areas designated as "Council Areas" (which include six cities in Scotland), but a more practical use are the regional travel destinations, listed below:

Borders:  The Eastern portion, north of the border with England, dotted with ruined abbeys and battlefields.
SouthWest:  Rabbie Burns and the Solway Coast ("Scotland's Riviera")
Central Belt: Scotland's most urban region between the cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh
Highlands:  Mountainous North-West, encompassing the Great Glen and Loch Ness and John o'Groats
North East Scotland: Centre of two of Scotland's most important industries, oil and whisky
Hebrides:  Or Western Isles or Na h-Eileanan Siar (in Gaelic) - islands off the north-west Scottish coast
Orkney Islands:  North of the Scottish mainland
Shetland Islands: North of Orkney
