The landscape isn't remotely similar and I have no family roots
here at all (at least not from the 1700s onwards; I haven't got
any >>> further back than that yet). So why does the land feel so
familiar >>> and safe here?

Probably because Scotland is awesome. :) Especicially the country
bits where the air is so breathtaking (pardon the pun)

True, but why then do I only get this feeling in Sutherland, not
over the border in Caithness (or at least where the rock changes,
which is near enough the border) or in other parts of the Highlands?

Similar land formation? same architects? Can you pinpoint anything
specific?

Nope and nope again. Sutherland is very bare, few trees, lots of
mountains, no large towns (there's only something like 45,000 people in
the whole 1.3m acres) and the architecture is either 60s bungalow or
crumbling croft house. The Forest is full of trees and council houses,
with a few old stone houses and in comparison is quite densely
populated. The only common denominator I can think of is that you have
to brake for sheep on the road in both areas!
