That's no biggie. We're not talking the Himalayas here, Dere Street goes right through the hills. There are hills likes that everywhere in Scotland. Dunbar has the same issue (the route through Cockburnspath being its Dere Street), as do most Scottish provinces however you do 'em. Anyways, I don't understand, the area is mostly hills except for the royal burghs of Edinburgh (far north) and Roxburgh (far south), is all royal demesne, so is functionally unimportant in this game in terms of titles, performing the function of being between Scotland-proper and England-proper. There are two major lordships in the south-east area, the king's and the earl's, the former in the west (Teviot/Tweedale and West/Central Lothian-proper) and the east (the rump of the Bernician earldom). So, what can I say. But, listen man, this is no big deal to me ... any improvement to the Scotland map he makes will be appreciated by me ... anything being better than nothing.
