Welcome to Forres!
Forres is a town in Moray in northeast Scotland, with a population in 2016 of 10,100. By the second century it was sufficiently famous (it's unclear whatever for) to be mapped as Οὐάραρ εἴσχυσις (Varar Estuary) by Claudius Ptolemy of Alexandria. Forres has whisky distilleries that can be visited and an elegant castle, but Ptolemy wasn't to know that.
