I think something like that Jaroon is what he wants. He wants to run those kind of forks too.
But then to me that Jaroon is just a mtb with drop bars no?
How do all these 'gravel' bikes like that Jaroon actually differ from a mountain bike hardtail? Is the geometry massively different from a xc hardtail?

He lives in Perthshire in Scotland, so mostly around there and then trips a bit further around Scotland.

Thanks for all the suggestions folks, loads for us to dig through. Those bikepacking.com links are great.
