HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS
USS
Iowa firing its guns in the North Atlantic off Cape Wrath 1986 The sparsely
populated glens and lochs of the Highlands and Islands provide a secluded shelter
and hiding place for the various military establishments that are located there.
The region is a hive of military activity, offering training areas for the low
flying aircraft from the RAF bases at Kinloss and Lossiemouth, bombing ranges
at Cape Wrath and Tain, and numerous defence research facilities. Nearly two thirds
of major facilities operational in 1980 are still in use.
