Highlands / Uplands

Broadly elevated terrain sitting well above surrounding lowlands, without necessarily forming sharp peaks — closer to a raised plain than a mountain range. Diagnostic features are exposure (more wind, less shelter, often less tree cover than equivalent lowland) and a horizon that sits below rather than above the observer, since the ground itself is already high.

Grassland / Steppe

Exposed, wind-scoured grass moor at elevation, few trees able to establish.

Temperate

Setting: Inland

Candidate: The Scottish Highlands moorland (Cairngorms foothill moor) — unverified, for your own research and confirmation before use.

Tundra

Low alpine-arctic shrub and lichen cover at elevation, ground frozen much of the year even at a temperate latitude.

Arctic / Subarctic

Setting: Inland

Candidate: The Cairngorm plateau, Scotland — unverified, for your own research and confirmation before use.

Genuine arctic-alpine tundra at an unusually low latitude — worth flagging as a real edge case, not a mistake.

Blanket Bog / Heather Moorland

Upland peat cover under heather and cotton grass rather than continuous grass sod; the plateau reads as flat-topped, dropping away at sharp gritstone 'edges' rather than rising to a peak — more a raised plain than a mountain.

Temperate

Setting: Inland

Candidate: Kinder Scout / Bleaklow, Southern Pennines, England — unverified, for your own research and confirmation before use.

Site of the 1932 Kinder Scout mass trespass, the event that led directly to the creation of Britain’s National Parks — worth reading into, not just photographing.
