Viral TikToks say Virginia looks like the European countryside

• Another in June said, "guys the South of France looks a lot like Northern Virginia."

Why it matters: People are agreeing in the comments, and we may or may not be on their side. The Appalachians and the Scottish Highlands were once the same mountain range, after all.

Our favorite comments:

• "My mom used to play Celtic music and we'd drive down backroads pretending to be in Ireland."
• "The Netherlands look like Goochland with different infrastructure."
• "I live in Ireland now & lowkey a lot of it looks like Virginia lol."
• "My first time in Scotland and Ireland, the landscape made me think of my home in Southwest Virginia."

Yes, but: Some called Virginia the knockoff version of the Pacific Northwest as an insult. We're ignoring them.

What's next: Save some money and go for a long drive through Virginia.
