-===== Campaign Use =====
+===== Major Locations Around 800 AD =====
-The party has not yet visited Skotland in the recorded campaign. Keep it available for mainland politics, raiding consequences, Christian monasteries, Norse-Gael alliances, overland journeys, or rumors from the southern seas.
+  * **Iona / Í:** Columban monastery in the western sea, famous across Ireland, Northumbria, and Pictland; a major early Viking target from 795 onward.
+  * **Dún Add (Dunadd):** Royal center of Dál Riata in Argyll, good for Gaelic kingship, inauguration, and western sea politics.
+  * **Forteviot:** Pictish royal center in Strathearn, useful for Fortriu/Alba politics and high-status diplomacy.
+  * **Fortriu / Moray:** Northern Pictish power region rather than a single town; useful for royal courts, hillforts, and northern politics.
+  * **Portmahomack / Tarbat:** Major Pictish monastery and craft center on Tarbat Ness, possibly destroyed by fire around 800.
+  * **Burghead:** Large promontory fort in Moray, useful as a northern Pictish stronghold and coastal landmark.
+  * **Abernethy:** Pictish religious and political center in the east, useful for church politics and royal patronage.
+  * **Alt Clut / Dumbarton Rock:** Brittonic fortress of the Clyde, controlling the western approaches and southern sea routes.
+  * **Whithorn:** Southern church center in Galloway, tied to Ninian traditions and useful for travel between Northumbria, Ireland, and western Britain.
+  * **Dunkeld:** Later important as a Columban and royal church center; around 800 it can be used cautiously as an emerging or future sacred site rather than a fully developed royal capital.
+  * **Scone:** Later royal inauguration site; around 800 it is best treated as an important landscape to foreshadow rather than a fully settled campaign hub.
-===== Notes and Uncertainty =====
+===== Campaign Use =====
-  * Confidence: medium-high for Skotland as the practical Norse-facing page title.
+The party has not yet visited Skotland in the recorded campaign. Keep it available for mainland politics, raiding consequences, Christian monasteries, Norse-Gael alliances, overland journeys, or rumors from the southern seas.
-  * Alba is also historically important as a Gaelic name, but this page uses the Norse-facing label for campaign consistency.
-  * No current adventure placement has been recorded.
