    Despite having lived here for my whole life I still get amazed at how like Skyrim/LOTR/Witcher Scotland is.

        (Scottish) Gaelic is really interesting to read (not that I understand anything lol)

        According to Wikipedia “Càrn Mòr Dearg” means “Great Red Peak”

      So true, I live near the alps (which are also very nice) but the landscapes in Scotland were so beautiful and different to me!

      I think there are two main reasons:

      1. 1000m is way above the tree-line (500-600m)
      2. Heavy deforestation across Scotland until the 20th century
