Most of Scotland is uninhabitable though, but I get your point.

Don't forget the Battle of Pinkie Cleugh, because the Battle of Pinkie is all too often forgotten. In fact, few people have even heard the name.

The 1547 Battle of Pinkie Cleugh was a major defeat for the Scots, but has been pretty much hushed up ever since.

This is only wiki, but you get the idea:
