The Highlands of Scotland include the lands north of a line running south and west from the town of Inverness on the northeast, encompassing the shires of Caithness, Sutherland, Ross and Cromarty, Inverness, and Argyll, as well as the islands of the Inner and Outer Hebrides. English has been the official language since 1754, but some Gaelic is spoken in a few areas of the west coast. The Highland Scots have a mixed economy, including agriculture, fishing, animal husbandry, crafts, local industries, and tourism.
