Apologies for missing these last couple of replies: my belated thanks for the comments.

In the meantime, I've finished the Croft (I think at this time more correctly called a Shieling) and and "run rig" field of planting (legumes or some such).











The next terrain item for this project will probably be a pair of smaller houses on a shared base, with the aim in due course of maybe a 5 house hamlet.

Excellent work there Steve. Reminds me of the crofts in the Rob Roy film.

wonderful modelling.

'run rig' - guess that's where the name of the Scottish band comes from.

Thanks all. In the next few days I'll hopefully set up a board with the entirety of Scottish terrain elements. At some point I do need to add some levels to the table - sections of foam angled for slopes, so the table can represent a steepish valley side. In my head I have some lovely imagery of coming through an elevated narrow mountain pass in the Five Sisters of Kintail and seeing a remote, lush and wide valley spread out before me.

 :D

Here are the mountain pass and valley I was referencing:





The photos were taken by me 30+ years ago and while I know we were staying in Morvich, I can't quite pinpoint the actual glen that we walked to. The hike was 25/30 miles which for much of the time was on our lonesome (though in the valley a couple of Tornadoes did shriek over at extremely low level, somewhat disturbing the peace  lol).
