Surely not? In what way could people in the Scottish Highlands be
classed as archaic?

Your intuition served you well until your learning overtook it  :)

Scotland has both Highland and Lowland regions. As far as area goes
they're maybe about equal but the Highlands are sparsely populated, so
most Scots are Lowlanders.

Much of the Scottish Lowlands looks quite similar in topography to much
of England.
