The Scottish Highlanders are a peaceful breed of cattle. Everything is very slow and they don't fixate on them with their eyes. Then they get very curious. I also really liked the view of the birch forest. It may be that I'm spoiled at the moment. So I have to "earn" a hike's stars. The water areas are visited by anglers, and they drive right up to them in their cars. There are also too many tractors driving too fast on the supply routes.
