Highlands nestles into a rugged embrace of the land, where the earth rises in a series of undulating mounds, cloaked in the deep greens of spruce and fir. It lies 42.1 km south-west of St. George's, NL (from St. George's, NL: bearing 230°T), and is situated 12.3 km north-north-west of Codroy Pond. The air here carries a bracing chill, even on a summer's day, hinting at the proximity of the vast ocean that sculpts the coastline. Streams, clear and cold, tumble down these slopes, their journeys marked by moss-covered stones and the occasional flash of silver as a darting fish navigates the current. The terrain is a rich tapestry of rock, soil, and resilient flora, a testament to the enduring spirit of life in this windswept corner of the world. This place, Highlands, carries the echoes of generations who have carved a life from its challenging beauty, their existence intertwined with the bounty of the sea and the resources of the land. For decades, the rhythm of life here was dictated by the fishing fleets that sailed from its shores, their catches forming the backbone of the local economy. While fishing remains a vital part of its identity, the character of Highlands has broadened, embracing other ventures that draw strength from its natural setting, perhaps through a growing appreciation for its unspoiled vistas and the quiet allure of its rugged landscape. The very air seems to hold a story, a sense of resilience forged by the elements and the steadfast resolve of its inhabitants.
