Abstract The Highlands of Scotland include the lands north of a line from the town of Inverness on the northeast running south and west, encompassing the shires of Caithness, Sutherland, Ross and Cromarty, Inverness, and Argyll, as well as the islands making up the Inner and Outer Hebrides. This file consists of 24 documents with dates of coverage from 1940 to 1980. Community studies are included for the villages of Ford and Kinlochleven, the township of Shawbost, the parish of Uig, the district of Park, the Isle of Skye, and Lewis and Harris Island. Other topics include socio-cultural change, the crofting system, communal rituals, and the use and variations in the use of the Gaelic language and increase in bilingualism (Gaelic and English).
