Highlands is an incorporated town located on a 20 square mile plateau in the southern Appalachian mountains in Macon County, North Carolina. As of the 2000 census, the town had a year-round population of 909, but the population swells to 10,000-15,000 during the "season".The town was founded in 1875 by Samuel Truman Kelsey and Clinton Carter Hutchinson who, supposedly, drew lines from Chicago to Savannah and from New Orleans to Baltimore. They felt that the intersection of these two lines, would eventually become a great trading center and commerical crossroads.
In the 1930's the town became a golfing mecca when Bobby Jones, of Atlanta, and some of his well-heeled golfing buddies founded the Highlands Country Club. Today that club is one of seven successful residential country club communities situated between Highlands and Cashiers, North Carolina. Tourism in Highlands is mostly seasonal (generally March through November), with the community drawing Southerners from the oppressive heat and humidity of their flat-land Florida, Georgia, South Carolina. Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana summers.
The town is quaintly dotted with many antique dealers, a well-known auction house, restaurants, shops, inns as well as several buildings on the National Register of Historic Places.

The town's official elevation is 4118 feet, making it the highest altitude as well as the coolest (during the summer months) of all towns in the southern United States.

This rainfall and, counterintuitively, the abundant sunshine, create a lush and verdant microclimate which delights botanists.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The Scottish Highlands are considered to be the mountainous regions of Scotland north of the Highland Boundary Fault. The Highland Council manages a small part of this area.The area is generally sparsely populated, with many mountain ranges dominating the region. Regional administrative centres include Inverness.
Culture
Culturally the area is quite different from the Scottish Lowlands. Most of the Highlands fall into the region known as the Gaidhealtachd, pronounced roughly Gailtahk, which was, within the last hundred years, the Gaelic speaking area of Scotland.
Historical Geography
In traditional British geography, the Highlands refers to that part of Scotland north-west of a line drawn from Dumbarton to Stonehaven, including the Inner and Outer Hebrides and the County of Buteshire, but excluding the Orkneys and Shetlands, Caithness, the flat coastal land of the Counties of Nairnshire, Morayshire and Banffshire, and all East Aberdeenshire. This area differred from the Lowlands by language and tradition, better preserving the Gaelic speech. Even in a historical sense the Highlanders were a separate people from the Lowlanders, with whom, during many centuries, they shared nothing in common. The town of Inverness is usually regarded as the capital of the Highlands.
Geology
The Highlands consist of an old dissected plateau, or block, of ancient crystalline rocks with incised valleys and lochs carved by the action of mountain streams and by ice, the resulting topography being a wide area of irregularly distributed mountains whose summits have nearly the same height above sea-level, but whose bases depend upon the amount of denudation to which the plateau has been subjected in various places.
