From the highest point of Mount Hillaby, which reaches 1,102 feet (336 metres) in the north-central region of the island, the landscape transitions toward the west coast by descending in a series of terraces until it reaches the sea.1

This topography contrasts with the eastern side of the island, where the land declines sharply into the rugged, eroded terrain of the Scotland District.12
