Good views of Caledonia.

 

Did you know that the highlands as the barren, treeless hills as which they are known to us now, are the result of the 19th century "clearances" policy of driving people off their land, to make room for mass sheep herding? And the cause for the big Scottish populaces in Northern America and Australia today?

Never knew that Lars, I do know they denuded a lot of forests for timber for those cool ships they built.
