Where a river starts often high in a mountain is called a headwater. It usually doesn't start in one specific place, but in many locations high in the mountains.

Valleys in Scotland are often referred to as glens. Glens are typically U-shaped valleys formed by glaciers and are common throughout the Scottish Highlands. They are often characterized by a river or stream running through them.
Cold, often rainy and occasionally snowy. Snow is more common on the higher ground in the north, and more so in the highlands of Scotland. The south west can often be fairly mild due to the influence of the Gulf Stream.
The mountain highlands are characterized by rugged terrain, high altitudes, and diverse flora and fauna. They are often home to unique ecosystems and species adapted to the challenging conditions of high elevations. Human communities in mountain highlands often have distinct cultures and traditions shaped by their environment.
Gaelic is a language often spoken in the highlands of Scotland.
it often begins with a capital letter.
The usual source of a river often begins high in the mountains or hills. The source may be nothing more than a boggy place in a moorland hollow (in the UK at least). As the stream flows downhill, more streams join in. Eventually, the stream becomes streams, the streams become rivers, and the rivers eventually joins the sea. Therefore, to find the source of any river, you need to follow the river upstream.

Complication
In Scotland, mostly highlands and islands. I often see a few on my walks.
Every stream has a different god - most often a nymph - guarding it.
Because in the lower areas flash floods and mudslides often occur
Highlands are elevated regions of land that are generally characterized by rugged terrain, mountainous landscapes, and cooler climates. They typically have lower temperatures and are often covered in vegetation such as trees, shrubs, and grasses. Highlands can be important for biodiversity, water resources, and as habitats for a variety of plant and animal species.
