highlander
Elevated terrain inhabitant
A highlander is someone who lives in or comes from a mountainous region, particularly the Scottish Highlands: The highlanders maintained distinct traditions for centuries.
The term suggests rugged terrain and the cultures adapted to it.
In military contexts, Highland regiments have historically been elite Scottish units. (Capitalized Highlander may refer to the film franchise about immortals.)
