surrounding Glasgow, are fair Lowland districts. Orkney and Shetland are both 
significantly fair, the only distinguishing feature in hair colour among the popu- 
lation of these islands. 
(/3) Red Hair. (Maps V., VI., XXIIL, XXIV. and LX.) Significant excess 
of red hair is confined (</ and ?) to the North-East division ; there is a possible 
significant excess for boys also in the Northern and South-Eastern divisions. The 
counties of Aberdeen and Banff stand out clearly as having the greatest excess in 
the North-Eastern division ; Midlothian, Roxburgh, Orkney and Shetland (for 
boys) ; Linlithgow and Sutherland (for girls) are also megalometropic. Proportions 
slightly above the average occur in Haddington, the Borders, Galloway, Arran and 
Caithness ((/"), and in Haddington, Lanark, Peebles, Selkirk, Arran, Forfar and

significant. Only on the border of the North Highlands is there even the slightest 
excess of red hair. It is quite clear that the population north of the Grampians and 
east of the Caledonian Canal is the only one in Scotland where red hair persists 
quite above the average. Special notice of this peculiarity is taken in a later section.
