Summary

[edit]
Description
English: On May 24, 2018, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASAS’s Aqua satellite acquired a true-color image of the green-and-tan lands of Scotland.

A travel website claims “Scotland is towering rock and deep water” – an apt description of much of the country, especially the rugged coastlines, the Northern Highlands, and the more than 800 islands surrounding the mainland. The mountains, hills, deep lakes, and dramatic fjords were carved by the glaciers that dominated the landscape of Scotland during the Pleistocene Ice Age.

Another dramatic feature is the Great Glen Fault, a 100-km-long strike-slip fault which runs from Moray Firth in the east to Fort William at the head of Loch Linnhe in the west. The Great Glen contains the United Kingdom’s deepest and most famous freshwater loch, Loch Ness.
