Loch Treig, Lochaber, one of the first Highland lochs to be dammed as part of a hydro-electric scheme
Historians writing about the Great War emphasise that the date of the armistice, 11 November 1918, can be misleading. In many areas of Europe this date is not especially important and ‘aftershocks’ of the war continued until the mid-1920s.

Thinking more specifically about the highlands, it is important not to indulge in exceptionalism. To see the experience of the region as distinctive, or unique, even in a Scottish context, is to neglect the ways in which its history interconnects with wider themes in Scottish and British history, not least the effects of the global economic depression of the late 1920s and early 1930s.
