SCOTLAND.
Scotland is one of the countries that form Britain (England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland).
Scotland is by the sea of the Atlantic Ocean. The Scottish territory is about 78.772 km2. Its population about 5.116.900 inhabitants, each 65 inhabitants per km2.
NATIONAL SYMBOLS:
The Scottish flag has a white cross on a blue bottom. It became part of the Union Jack’s flag in 1606. There are a lot of symbols, less important than the flag, in Scotland, like the thistle flower (Scottish national flower).
The song “Flower of Scotland” is considering the national hymn, competing with “Scotland the brave”. The Scottish uses each one for different things. The first one is use to be sung in football matches, for politic things, and the second is use to represent Scotland in the Commonwealth games.
POLITIC.
Like Scotland is part of Britain the Scottish chief of state is the British monarch, the queen Elizabeth II. But the Scottish call she “queen Elizabeth” instead of “Elizabeth II” because in Scotland there have never been a queen called “Elizabeth I”.
CLIMATE.
The Scottish climate is really varied. When I went to Scotland, normally it was cloudy in the morning, sometimes it rains in after dinner, and the sun was shinning after. Or the order change, or it rains during all the morning and then the sky is cloudy… really varied.
All this rains have made Scotland a very beautiful country. With green enormous gardens, and a lot of colourful flowers. When I went, that pure green surprised me, it was really, really beautiful.
