Lorne (or Lorn; Scottish Gaelic: Latharna)[1] is an ancient province (medieval Latin: provincia) in the west of Scotland, which is now a district in the Argyll and Bute council area. The district gives its name to the Lynn of Lorn National Scenic Area, one of forty such areas in Scotland, which have been defined so as to identify areas of exceptional scenery and to ensure its protection from inappropriate development.[2] The national scenic areas cover 15,726 ha, of which 10,088 ha are marine seascape,[3] and includes the whole of the island of Lismore, along with neighbouring areas on the mainland such as Benderloch and Port Appin, and the Shuna Island.[4]
The region may have given its name to the traditional Scottish breakfast dish Lorne sausage.
