Mapa topográfico de Escocia.

A xeografía de Escocia é moi variada, dende as terras baixas do rural ata as terras altas ermas, e dende as grandes cidades ata as illas deshabitadas. Localizada no Norte de Europa, Escocia comprende o terzo norte da illa de Gran Bretaña así como 790 illas como as dos grandes arquipélagos das Illas Shetland, das Órcadas e das Illas Hébridas interiores e exteriores.[1]

A única terra que fai fronteira con Escocia é Inglaterra, que percorre 97km en dirección noreste dende o Fiorde de Solway ata o Mar do Norte na costa leste.[2] Separada pola Canle do Norte, a illa de Irlanda está a 31km da punta suroeste das terras escocesas.[2] Noruega está localizada a 310 km ó norete de Escocia cruzando o Mar do Norte. O Océano Atlántico, que bordea a costa oeste de Escocia e as illas do norte, inflúe no clima temperado e marítimo do país.[3]

A topografía de Escocia distínguese pola Falla das Highland, que atravesa as terras de Esocia dende Helensburgh ata Stonehaven.[4] A liña de falla separa dúas rexións físicas, as Highlands no norte e no oeste, e as Lowlands do sur e leste.[5] The more rugged Highland region contains the majority of Scotland's mountainous terrain, including the highest peak, Ben Nevis. Lowland areas, in the southern part of Scotland, are flatter and home to most of the population, especially the narrow waist of land between the Firth of Clyde and the Firth of Forth known as the Central Belt.[5] Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, although Edinburgh is the capital and political centre of the country.[6]

An abundance of natural resources such as coal, iron and zinc contributed significantly to the industrial growth of Scotland during the 19th and early 20th centuries.[7] Today, energy is a major component of Scotland's economy.[8] Whilst Scotland is the largest producer of petroleum in the European Union, the production potential of renewable energy has emerged as an important economic and environmental issue in recent years.[8]
