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 fi re brigade in 1824.
Edinburgh University welcomed the first female medical student
in Great Britain in 1869.
