It's well seeing those that come up Grouse Shooting are English. A Grouse Moor is totally different to a Moorland that you wrote. Rannoch Moor is a place name, when you described it as a bog, you were quite accurate.
No self respecting Scot would describe any part of Scotland as Moorland. Never heard it described as that in my life.
Tell you wot, you keep to your side of Hadrians Wall and I will keep to mine.

It's a great trip, just don't expect to see the view that they use to advertise it ( the background when they are asking you to subscribe to the new You tube channel)unfortunately you don't go down that part of the road, you join it further on!!

well, despite the grumpy Scots who seem to be on here, it's still a beautiful trip. Even over the moorland bits. And the bogs.

Let's both be right:
Wikipedia: Ranch Moor
"Rannoch Moor (/ˈrænəx/, Scottish Gaelic: Mòinteach Raineach/Raithneach) is an expanse of around 50 square miles (130 km²) of boggy moorland "

Im as Scottish as they come, I'm an Islander from the Western Isles and it is Moorland for me, certainly not a derogatory term, the moorland of the Highlands and Islands are beautiful.

There's always one.
Coming from the Western Isles where there only peat banks and peat bogs and I lived there, well over the Clisham the decent end of the isle!

Peat bank is where you get the fuel for the Fire
Peat Bog is what your kids and sheep get stuck in
All the rest is Moorland
Did you stay on the South Side of the Clisham? Stunning beaches but strange people
