	The Highlanders of Scotland
		The population of the south of Scotland remained in the meantime partly Anglic and partly Gaelic, the former people possessing the whole of the country south of the Firth of Forth, while the latter occupied the remaining districts.
		The Gaelic inhabitants of Scotland were unable to resist the invasion of so powerful an army, and Edgar having overcome Donald in battle, made him captive and placed his namesake, the son of Malcolm Kenmore, on the throne.
		Subsequently, however, they were called forth from their mountain districts, and from the prosecution of their internal feuds, to assist the Earl of Lauderdale in carrying through his oppressive proceedings against the gentry of the western counties of Scotland, where they were long after remembered under the denomination of the Highland host.

	An economic analysis of water use in the Scotland river basin district
		There are three river basin districts in Scotland: two shared with England (Solway-Tweed and Northumbria), and one entirely within Scotland.
		The number of people employed in the Scotland RBD is currently just under 2.2 million and is set to increase to over 2.2 million by 2015 on the back of forecast growth in output of 2.2% per year.
		For example, there are many excellent salmon rivers in the district and the generally clean and reliable water supply supports sectors such as fish farming and whisky manufacturers.

	River Basin Districts - Proposals for Scotland: page 1
		We propose that the southern boundary of this single river basin district should be based on catchment boundaries following the catchments draining to the Solway estuary and Tweed catchments, as shown in the map at Annex A.
		Since only a small area of the river basin lies in Scotland, it is proposed that this is combined with a neighbouring basin lying wholly in England, such as the Tees, into a single river basin district.
		We indicated in "The Future for Scotland’s Waters — Proposals for Legislation" that special arrangements would be needed to establish the river basin management planning procedures for the catchments that cross the border with England.
