- jameshart 11y agoI don't think so - that's more based on the Hebrides, with a hint of Faeroes mixed in. Doggerland is in the North Sea, not the North Atlantic, so while an alternate history leaving a few sghrs as remnants of the ancient Doggerland would give him a plausible alternate source for an extra island in the British Isles, the location's wrong (although maybe you could argue Inner Qwghlm is a bit more like a kind of Lindisfarne analog, so... maybe...)
