Scotland

A lot of people think that Scotland is a part of England, but this is not true. Scotland is, in fact, a part of Great Britain. It is governed from London but in many ways it is a separate nation. It has its own capital city, Edinburgh, its own laws and its own stamps. It even has its own language, Gaelic, spoken now by only a few people on the islands.

There are only about five million Scots, and most of them live in the southern part of the country called the "Lowlands", where the major cities are situated.

But most holiday visitors to Scotland go to the Highlands because of the high mountains and deep valleys, clean rivers and cold "lochs"¹. The Highlands are home to many birds and animals, like the golden eagle and the wildcat, which are found nowhere else in Britain. It is a sparcely populated and empty land. Only two per cent of the British population live there and the popula­tion is getting smaller all the time. There is very little work, so most of the young people who are born there have to move south to find a job. Perhaps the Highlands of Scotland will become the last wilderness of Europe.

Scotland is famous for its own culture. From a Scottish glossary:

Kilt² is a part of the traditional costume of a Scotsman. This short skirt is worn by men in the Highlands. It was the dress of the old-time Highlanders and was very suitable for going through wet, moorland country. The kilt worn by each clan was made up of a special checked pattern. This colourful cloth is called tartan³. Each Scottish Highland clan has its own special tartan.

Bagpipe⁴ is a Scottish national musical instrument... It led Scottish soldiers into battle.
