There are swathes of rolling countryside. Around here it hits the sweet spot between the drama of the Highlands and the gentler Lowlands, with a mix of both. The landscapes are attractive, but not necessarily as dangerous. We are lucky to live in an attractive rural location, you could say remote, but to us, we live in the heart of things and want to share that.
