Scotland
Although being part of Great Britain, Scotland has a history and culture
all of its own. Recently getting its own government the Scottish are
a very proud raise, and rightly so. Famous for poetry, kilts, bagpipes
and the haggis Scotland has a diverse culture and is a very beautiful
country. There are many great mountains and Lakes (Lochs) including
the tourist hot spot Loch ness, apparently the home of a great serpent
like monster/dinosaur that has been sighted many times (including supposed
photographs) but never actually proven to exist.
Edinburgh is the capitol city of Scotland, the second largest after
Glasgow and is one of Europe’s largest financial centres. Scotland has
been home to some of the worlds greatest inventors writers and poets,
including Robert Burns, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and apparently JK Rowling
started writing Harry Potter in an Edinburgh coffee shop. Inventors
include Alexander Bell (telephone) and Alexander Flemming (penicillin).
It’s easy to see why Scotland has been home to some of the greatest
minds and writers the world has ever seen due to the sheer aw-inspiring
beauty of the countryside and highlands, as well as the living history
that is the cities and towns. It would be hard not to be creative when
your in an environment like that….
