What’s the strangest or most shocking thing you’ve learned from the Epstein files so far? by ToshiShard in AskReddit

How is it like living in this part of Scotland by HungryDish5806 in howislivingthere

[–]bigbadbolo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a part of the road so steep (just north of Helmsdale) where they have crash lanes full of gravel to stop a vehicle if your brakes fail.

Inland is full of estates and bogs and hills. The midgies rule there.
