Scotland
Scotland is one of four parts of the GB. In area Scotland is more than half as big as England. The
principal cities of the country are: its capital Edinburgh and the main industrial center Glasgow.
Scottish towns look very different from English towns. Some words about Edinburgh.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 the history is everywhere. At the top of the highest hill in Edinburgh is Edinburgh
Castle. It was the home of Scotland’s royal family until 1603 when King James the 6th of Scotland
became 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 a 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’s 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 thing
Scotland is very beautiful country and if you visit it you shall never forget it.
