The Highland Boundary Fault is a major fault zone that traverses Scotland from Arran and Helensburgh on the west coast to Stonehaven in the east. It separates two different geological terranes which give rise to two distinct physiographic terrains: the Highlands and the Lowlands, and in most places it is recognisable as a change in topography. Where rivers cross the fault, they often pass through gorges, and the associated waterfalls can be a barrier to salmon migration.

  • La ligne de faille des Highlands traverse l'Écosse de l'île d'Arran à Stonehaven et la sépare en deux régions physiquement différentes : les Highlands et les Lowlands. (fr)
  • La falla de les Highlands, o línia de falla de les Highlands (en anglès: Highland Boundary Fault), és una falla geològica que travessa Escòcia diagonalment des d'Arran i a la costa oest fins a a l'est. Separa dues regions diferents: les Highlands (terres altes) de les Lowlands (terres baixes). Els dos esdeveniments geològics principals que han afectat Escòcia foren primer la formació del supercontinent Pangea i després el trencament de Pangea i la formació dels continents actuals. La línia de falles de les Highland va estar activa durant l'orogènesi caledoniana. (ca)

  • La falla de las Highlands (en inglés Highland Boundary Fault) es una falla geológica que atraviesa Escocia desde la isla de Arran y Helensburgh en la costa oeste, hasta Stonehaven en el este. Esta falla separa dos regiones fisiográficas claramente distintas: las Highlands o "tierras altas" y las Lowlands o "tierras bajas"; sin embargo, en la mayoría de los lugares esta diferencia solo se nota en representaciones topográficas.​ Una falla complementaria, la Southern Upland Fault ("falla meridional de las Tierras Altas"), forma la frontera sur de los Lowlands.​ (es)
  • La faglia di confine delle Highlands (in inglese: Highland Boundary Fault) è una faglia geologica che attraversa la Scozia dall'isola di Arran e Helensburgh sulla costa occidentale fino a Stonehaven a est. Questa faglia separa due distinte regioni fisiografiche: le Highlands o "altopiani" / "terre alte" e le Lowlands o "bassopiani" / "terre basse"; tuttavia, nella maggior parte dei luoghi questa differenza è evidente solo nelle rappresentazioni topografiche. Una faglia complementare, la ("faglia meridionale delle Highlands"), forma il confine meridionale delle Lowlands. (it)
