BEAUTIFUL
SCOTLAND!
Scotland is currently the second largest country in the UK, after England.
The official animal of Scotland is the Unicorn and their official religion
is Christianity. Scotland has approximately 790 islands, 130 of which
are inhabited. It has more than 600 square miles of freshwater lakes,
including the famous Loch Ness.
The capital of Scotland, Edinburgh, was the first city in the world which had its own fire brigade. Other famous Scottish inventions include the television, developed by John Logie Baird in 1925, the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 and penicillin, by Alexander Fleming in 1928. Many of Scotland's most famous inventions - kilts, tartans and bagpipes - were actually developed elsewhere. Kilts originated in Ireland, tartans have been found in Bronze Age central Europe and bagpipes are thought to have come from ancient central Asia. |
