Swedish term or phrase: låg grannar
Hello

In:

Stora Kopparberg, Bergvik & Ala och Kopparfors ***låg grannar*** längre norrut, och skogsinnehaven var till och med inflätade i varandra.

I don't know if the expression "ligga grannar" means "were neighbours" or "planted spruces"

This is perhaps clear for Swedes or other translators but I've tried to find both as expressions and no luck

So it might be a dumb question but I have to ask it

Thanks

agree  Tania McConaghy: I'd say that this usually means "close neighbours" with the implication that there are no other neighbours located in between
