I think the sabre tooths and lions mostly occupied the warmer southern end of Britain. Whether they were hunted by Man? I dunno. Scotland had so much ice up here they probably wouldn't have liked it very much. Perhaps they could be re-established in Kent or some southern county like that which is closest to their original natural environment. As people arent allowed to roam freely in England, there would be less danger than releasing them up here where people are wandering about everywhere.
Never mind the wilderness areas being used by walkers... up here people actually LIVE in a lot of the wilderness areas and would no more relish being turned off their land for a bear than for a Trump. Again, perhaps the more restricted access countryside of the Home Counties would be safest to release bears for you to see!
As for closeness to bears. At Cameron Wildlife Park the bears came right up next to the bus. As for Hercules... close enough to smell him! But he was alright... he was a pet!
