Firstly, Legate's idea that Elves still came to Hollin in a kind of pilgrimage and that the Dunlendings saw this as their country as well makes a lot of sense to me and is an easy explanation for this "riddle".
Hunting and scouting parties passing through also make sense, again something I had not taken into account.
