(1) That part of the Scottish marine area, the boundaries of which are identified in paragraphs (2) to (6), is designated as a Scottish marine region to be known as ‘the Scottish marine region for the West Highlands’.
(2) It is bounded to the south by—
(a) firstly, a line between—
(i) the point on the mainland of Scotland where a line between the co-ordinates 56°36′49″ north latitude, 05°18′51″ west longitude and 56°37′16″ north latitude, 05°19′27″ west longitude intersects the landward limit of the Scottish marine area; and
(ii) the co-ordinate 56°37′16″ north latitude, 05°19′27″ west longitude; and
(b) secondly, a line between the co-ordinates 56°37′16″ north latitude, 05°19′27″ west longitude and 56°47′29″ north latitude, 07°01′55″ west longitude, defined by joining sequentially the following co-ordinates—
