History
Scotland - a part of the
United Kingdom of Great
Britain and Northern
Ireland. Scotland can be
considered as a separate
country. Scots assert the
national originality and
keep many institutes which
are not present in England
and other English-speaking
countries. They have the
capital Edinburgh, the
church, laws and courts,
the banks and banknotes.
Original institutes were kept in Scotland for
a long time when she was the sovereign
state. For a long time attempts of
association of Scotland and England were
undertaken. Many of them were certificates
of the armed aggression on the part of
England. Scots long time successfully
repulsed aggressors that promoted
consolidation of national consciousness. In
1603 when after Elizabeth's I death on an
English throne the Scottish king Jacob VI
was peacefully ratified, both countries
appeared under authority of one monarch,
but everyone has kept the parliament and
the controls. Then, according to the
Certificate 1707, Scotland and England
were included in United Kingdom the Great
Britain with uniform parliament and the
central government.
National language - Gaelic and
English

Economy
Scotland has the western style open mixed
economy which is close connected to it of
other part of Europe and wider world.
Traditionally, the Scottish economy was in
authority of the heavy industry supported by
shipbuilding in Glasgow, the coal industry
and steel industries. Oil concerned, the
industries connected to extraction of oil of
Northern sea also were the important
businessmen from 1970, is especial in the
north to the east from Scotland. Деindustrialisation during 1970 and 1980 saw
change from the industrial center to a lot of
service - focused on economy (economy).
Edinburgh - the financial center of services
of Scotland and the sixth greatest financial
center in Europe in terms of funds under
management, behind of London, Paris,
Frankfurt, Zurich and Amsterdam, with many
big firms of the finance based there,
switching: Royal Bank of Scotland (the
second-largest bank in Europe); HBOS
(owners of Bank of Scotland); and the
Standard Life.
Religion
Just over two-thirds (67%) of
the Scottish population
reported having a religion in
2001 with Christianity
representing all but 2% of
these. 28% of the population
claimed to have no religious
adherence. This means that
the non-religious are second
in total numbers only to the
numbers claimed by the
Church of Scotland. As only
12% of the population are
actually members of the
Church of Scotland this
means that the actively nonreligious now out number the
actively religious by 3 to 1.
Musical instruments
Scottish music is a significant aspect of
the nation's culture, with both traditional
and modern influences. A famous
traditional Scottish instrument is the
Great Highland Bagpipe , a wind
instrument consisting of three drones and
a melody pipe , which are fed continuously
by a reservoir of air in a bag , featuring
bagpipes and various types of drums, and
showcasing Scottish music styles while
creating new ones, have spread
throughout the world. The harp, fiddle and
accordion are also traditional Scottish
instruments.
Dances
Céilidh - the simple dances executed on national parties.
Highland - solo dances, arose as man's, but by the present
moment becoming universal. The basic attention is given work of
foots, frequently this
kind of
dances compare to ballet.
Ladies' Step - solo female dances.
Cape Breton Step - Scottish step,
executed both men, and women as
solo dances on holidays and parties. Kejp Breton step has the
direct attitude to island Kejp Breton in a gulf St. Lavrentia which
(Nova Scotia) is a part of a province of Canada. The numerous
Scots speaking on gaelic language, in XVIII-XIX have emigrated on
Kejp Breton, being rescueed from reprisals and economic
difficulties centuries. Together with themselves they have carried
away also culture Scottish степа. Unfortunately, in the Scotland
where traditions of the population of a hilly terrain of Scotland long
also were successfully suppressed by English authorities, step
dance has been practically lost. In XX-XXI centuries Scottish step
began to come back to Scotland.
Literary languages
Scottish literature includes text written in
English , Scottish Gaelic , Scots , French ,
and Latin . The poet and songwriter Robert
Burns wrote in the Scots language ,
although much of his writing is also in
English and in a "light" Scots dialect which
is more accessible to a wider audience.
Similarly, the writings of Sir Walter Scott
and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle were
internationally successful during the late
19th and early 20th Centuries. J. M. Barrie
introduced the movement known as the
"Kailyard school " at the end of the 19th
century, which brought elements of
fantasy and folklore back into fashion.
This tradition has been viewed as a major
stumbling block for Scottish literature, as
it focused on an idealised, pastoral picture
of Scottish culture. Some modern
novelists, such as Irvine Welsh , write in a
distinctly Scottish English that reflects
the harsher realities of contemporary life.
Animals
Scotland's wildlife is typical of
the north west of Europe
although several of the larger
mammals such as the Lynx ,
Brown Bear , Wolf , Elk and
Walrus were hunted to
extinction in historic times
along with smaller mammals
such as Beaver and Boar .
There are important
populations of seals and
internationally significant
nesting grounds for a variety of
seabirds such as Gannets .The
Golden Eagle is something of a
national
