| “ | In the lands of the North, where the Black Rocks stand guard against the cold sea, in the dark night that is very long the Men of the Northlands sit by their great log fires and they tell a tale... and those tales they tell are the stories of a kind and wise king and his people; they are the Sagas of Noggin the Nog. Welcome to Northlands, a tribute to Noggin, King of the Nogs and the People of the Northlands. | ” |

| Bute | 13 | 5 | 18 | 2 | |
| Great Cumbrae | 45 | 10 | 55 |
Arguably, Shetland, Orkney and Outer Hebrides (all GAs) cover their largest islands, so Mull and Bute are the highest priorities along with the Uists.
