SCOTLAND - THE LAND OF LEGENDS
Scotland is in the north of Great Britain. It is famous for its rich culture as well as
its amazing natural beauty. Visitors to this land can spend endless days exploring its
historic centuries-old castles. But be aware – legend says that some of them are
haunted by ghosts. Fun-lovers can experience its world-famous festival, the Highland
Games where they can enjoy unique Scottish activities such as the piping, drumming,
and dancing. They can also see traditional sports, or drink whisky with the local people.
Driving through vast green pastures, or boating on scenic lakes – or lochs – are other
attractions that Scotland offers.
The great people of this legendary land have also given many of the world’s important
inventions like the telephone, the television, penicillin and the raincoat. Edinburgh, the
capital, was the first city in the world to have its own fire brigade in 1824. Edinburgh
University welcomed the first female medical student in Great Britain in 1869.
