Inverness-Shire

The Shire of Inverness is a historic county and lieutenancy area of Scotland. Covering much of the Highlands, it is Scotland's largest county, though one of the smallest in population, with 67, 733 people or 1. 34% of the national population. DefinitionThe extent of the lieutenancy area was defined in 1975 as covering the districts of Inverness, Badenoch & Strathspey, and Lochaber. Thus it differs from the county in that it includes parts of what were once Moray and Banffshire, but does not include any of the Outer Hebrides which were given their own lieutenancy area — the Western Isles. GeographyInverness-shire is Scotland's largest county, and the second largest in the UK as a whole after Yorkshire. It borders Ross to the north, Nairnshire, Moray, Banffshire and Aberdeenshire to the east, and Perthshire and Argyll to the south.
