What is Uppland?
[[Image:Uppland vapen.svg|thumb|right|Coat of arms of Uppland]] '''Uppland''' is a historical [[Provinces of Sweden|province]] or ''landskap'' on the eastern coast of [[Sweden]], just north of [[Stockholm]], the capital. It borders [[Södermanland]], [[Västmanland]] and [[Gästrikland]]. It is also bounded by lake [[Mälaren]] and the [[Baltic sea]]. It has an extremely short and strangely shaped land border with [[Åland]], an autonomous province of [[Finland]], on the small uninhabited island of [[Märket]] in the Baltic. The name literally means ''up land'', a name which is commonly encountered in especially older English literature. Its Latinised form, which is occasionally used, is ''Uplandia''. {{multistub|geo|Europe}} [[Category:Provinces of Sweden]]
