Regulation 4 provides for relief in respect of lands and heritages wholly or mainly used for one or more of the purposes specified in schedule 2 that are situated on an island (as defined in regulation 2) or in an area falling within the boundaries described in schedule 1. The boundaries in schedule 1 are described using Ordnance Survey National Grid references, along with a topographical description of the course of the boundary between each grid reference. Together these boundaries enclose the three areas in question.
The areas form part of peninsulas, namely Cape Wrath, Knoydart and Scoraig. which are not accessible via the public road network. Illustrative maps of the areas falling within the boundaries accompany this explanatory note.
