To the west of the mainland are the Hebrides islands, with the Outer Hebrides further west than the Inner Hebrides. The Orkney Islands are just off the north-eastern tip of the mainland, with the Shetland Isles at upper right. Scotland's capital city is Edinburgh, on the south coast of the Firth of Forth, the large inlet just right of lower centre. Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, is the grey patch west of Edinburgh.
