Scotland

A lot of people think that Scotland is a part of England but this is untrue. Scotland is,
in fact, a part of Great Britain. It is governed from London but in many ways it is a
separate nation. It has its own capital city, Edinburgh, its own laws and its own stamps.
It even has its own language, Gaelic, spoken now by only a few people in the islands.

There are only about five million Scots, and most of them live in the southern half of
country called ‘Lowlands’, where the major cities are situated.
But most holiday visitors to Scotland go to the Highlands because of the high mountains
and deep valleys, clean rivers and cold ‘lochs’. The Highlands are home to many rare birds
and animals, like the golden eagle and the wildcat, which are found nowhere else in Britain. It
is a lonely, wild and empty land. Only two per cent of the British population live there and
the population is getting smaller all the time. There is very little work so most of the young
people who are born there have to move south to find a job. Perhaps the Highlands of
Scotland will become the last great wilderness of Europe

46..The text tells us about … .

A.Scotland as a nation
