Fort William is a good base on this list: Steall Falls is 10 km away, Eas Chia Aig 17 km, and the Meeting of Three Waters 19 km. Bracklinn Falls is 21 km from Stirling and Cauldron Linn 13 km from Alloa. The Clyde has Corra Linn and Stonebyres near Dalserf, and the Falls Of Foyers, the Fall of Glomach and Eas a' Chùil Àlainn are well away from any town.

RLQuest knows these places too. Which means:
Some of your daily quests lead to a real place near you. The app uses your location to check you were really there.
If you're the first person in RLQuest to complete a quest at a place, it's your first find. The Place Book shows you which kinds of place you're still missing.
Every walk uncovers tiles, each about 350 m across. Over time you can see which corners you know well, and where you've never set foot.
