Just curious as to why the landscape is so barren. What happened to the trees?
-
I think there are two main reasons:
- 1000m is way above the tree-line (500-600m)
- Heavy deforestation across Scotland until the 20th century

Despite having lived here for my whole life I still get amazed at how like Skyrim/LOTR/Witcher Scotland is.
I read the title and thought it was a LOTR place :P
So true, I live near the alps (which are also very nice) but the landscapes in Scotland were so beautiful and different to me!
