In the Scottish Highlands article, note the sentence:

Culturally the area is quite different from the Scottish Lowlands.

This is absolutely correct and one of the main reasons why the Northeast plain around Aberdeen should not be considered part of the Highlands. It is culturally and geographically part of the Lowlands. The Highlands start west of it on a line which roughly follows the foothills of the mountains. Ie Stonehaven, Aboyne, Alford, Dufftown, Nairn, approximately. The Battle of Harlaw was only one example of the area fighting off the predations of the "wild Highlandmen". The article needs to be altered to show this. -- Derek Ross 01:11, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)
