Edinburgh is one of the most stunning cities in Scotland! It's castle in the far left of the photo is now a museum and holds the tattoo every year. 

I chose these three ares of Scotland because they differ the most. Orkney Islands are off the coast of north west Scotland and the people who live there don't consider themselves Scottish. The Highland area is in north Scotland and has the most unique Scottish history and culture. Then I chose Edinburgh because it is the capital city. The differences shown are exactly what was expected. The most densely populated ares are nearer to the capital and the further north the fewer people reside.
