The Highland Connection is the second album by Celtic rock band Runrig. It was released in 1979 on LP and cassette tape as the first release from Ridge Records, the record company set up by the band to release their material. A CD version of the album was released on the same label in 1989.
The majority of the album is sung in Scottish Gaelic, but it includes instrumentals and the first songs recorded by the band in English, including a version of "Loch Lomond", a song that became a live staple for the rest of the band's career.
