Scotland is one of four parts of the GB. Scotland's area is more than half
as big as England's. The main cities of the country are its capital Edinburgh
and the main industrial center Glasgow.
Scottish towns look very different from English towns. Edinburgh, capital of Scotland, is one of Britain’s most attractive
cities. It’s a city for people who like to walk.
You are never far from green parks, gardens and hills - even in the main
shopping streets. It’s a busy modern city, but its history is everywhere. At
the top of the highest hill is located Edinburgh Castle. It was the home of
Scotland’s royal family until 1603 when King James the 6th of Scotland became
the king of England and moved to London. The road which begins at the castle
and goes eastwards is called Royal Mile. At the other end of the Royal Mile is
the Palace of Hollyroodhouse.
It was built by the Scottish king before Scotland and England were united
to make Great Britain. Now it is a second home for the Queen or her children,
who usually visit Edinburgh in the summer. When the royal family is not there
you can visit the palace and see a lot of interesting things. There are nine
hills in Edinburgh. They are long-dead volcanoes. From the tops of them you can
see two bridges : the modern road bridges an the old rail bridges which has
carried trains to the Highlands for more than a hundred years. The highlands of
Scotland is mountainous and wild.
In the winter it’s white with snow but in the summer it becomes purple.
Highlands are famous for the Scottish Olympics or the Highland games (it’s real
name). These games are not only sporting competitions: music and different
traditional games are very important too. While athletes throw the hammer at
the one end of the arena, you can watch a dancing competition at the other end.
There is also a game for the strongest athletes - tossing the caber, which
weights 60 kilos and is six metres long. These games are very popular in
Highlands. Usually between the mountains are rivers and lakes. Scottish people
like fishing very much, that’s why they say that Scottish rivers are good for
two : fishing is one, the other is Scotch whisky. Whisky is made from water and
barley. The method hasn’t changed for hundreds years. Scotch whisky is the best
one. Scotland is also famous for it’s kilt, the most important part of national
dress and bagpipes - the national instrument. I think that Scotland is a very
beautiful country and if you visit it you shall never forget it.
