I think most people would feel that the "North East" has a southern border around Stonehaven or, maybe at a push, Arbroath. The area is and has been very variable commercially and culturally with the seaboard traditionally focussed on fishing, the agricultural land concentrated on different types of farming typified 100-200 years ago by the system of "feeing"

and the western area which is indeed in the Highlands - the last native speaker of Deeside Gaelic died in 1984.
