District of Highland, 1975 To 1996
In 1975, under the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973, the local government county was abolished and the area (including the burgh of Nairn) became, without change of boundaries, a district of the two-tier Highland region.
Local government functions were divided between the regional council and the district council. For example, education was a regional responsibility, and housing was a district responsibility.
