The Scottish Highlands

The Scottish Highlands are situated to the north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault and are
very mountainous. For over a hundred years the Scottish Highlands has been the Gaelic speaking
area of Scotland, although Highland English is also spoken here. The city of Iverness is generally
regarded to be the capital of the Highlands.
The Scottish Highlands are rugged and beautiful. However since they are so mountainous the some
250 000 people who live here are spread out quite sparsely in the area. The Highlands are one of the
best places to go for Scottish culture since it is distinctly different from the rest of Scotland - the
highland communities have a much stronger sense of their inherited culture than the lowlands and
many highlanders still speak the Gaelic language.
There are many small villages and towns in the highlands, as well as a big city in Inverness, and some
islands which are inhabited. Some of the smaller villages have become craft orientated over the years
and you may be able to find some real treasures. Because of the vast differences in this section of the
landscape, there are big differences in climate throughout the region. This has led to the highlands
producing a wide range of habitats which has in turn, encouraged an array of wildlife to make homes
in the area.
There is so much to do in the Scottish Highlands. You can explore castles and visit museums, take a
boat trip or train ride. There are beautiful gardens and parks worth visiting as well as a whisky trail.
The famous Loch Ness Lake is situated in the highlands and you'll find ancient monuments which can
be visited. If you'd like something more adventurous, you might try pony trekking, walking, cycling,
skiing, kayaking and sailing. There is no end of things to do in the highlands so you can be sure you'll
thoroughly enjoy yourself here.

GAMES OF
HIGHLANDERS
Over the summer months, Aberdeen
and Grampian Highlands has a
packed calendar of traditional
Highland Games. Scottish
Highland Games are a series of
events where people gather to
watch athletes from throughout
Scotland and further afield toss
the caber, throw the hammer, and
take part in many other traditional
games.
Colourful, exciting, competitive, memorable, world
famous - just a few of the words that sum up the
fun of Scottish Highland Games. From the skill
and agility of the heavies, the colourful and
proud massed pipebands, and the traditional
flair of the highland dancers, this is a historic
spectacle not to be missed.

David Livingston
David Livingstone
Born19 March 1813)
Blantyre, ScotlandDied4 May 1873 (aged 60)
near Lake Bangweulu, ZambiaOccupationMissionary and explorerDavid Livingstone (19
March 1813 – 1 May 1873) was a Scottish Congregationalist pioneer medical missionary with the
London Missionary Society and explorer in central Africa. He was the first European to see Mosioa-Tunya (Victoria Falls), to which he gave the English name in honour of his monarch, Queen
Victoria. He is the subject of the meeting with H. M. Stanley, which gave rise to the popular
quotation, "Dr Livingstone, I presume?"
Perhaps one of the most popular national heroes of the late-nineteenth century in Victorian
Britain, Livingstone's mythic status operated on a number of interconnected levels: that of
Protestant missionary martyr, that of working-class "rags to riches" inspirational story, that of
scientific investigator and explorer, that of imperial reformer, anti-slavery crusader and advocate
of commercial empire.
His fame as an explorer helped drive forward the obsession with discovering the sources of the
Nile River that formed the culmination of the classic period of European geographical discovery
and colonial penetration of the African continent. At the same time his missionary travels,
"disappearance" and death in Africa, and subsequent glorification as posthumous national hero
in 1874 led to the founding of several major central African Christian missionary initiatives carried
forward in the era of the European

Robert Burns (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796) (also
known as Rabbie Burns, Scotland's favourite son, the
Ploughman Poet, the Bard of Ayrshire and in Scotland
as simply The Bard) was a poet and a lyricist. He is widely
regarded as the national poet of Scotland, and is
celebrated worldwide. He is the best-known of the poets
who have written in the Scots language, although much of
his writing is also in English and a 'light' Scots dialect,
accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote
in standard English, and in these pieces, his political or
civil commentary is often at its most blunt.
He is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement
and after his death became an important source of
inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism.
A cultural icon in Scotland and among Scots who have
relocated to other parts of the world (the Scottish
Diaspora), celebration of his life and work became almost
a national charismatic cult during the 19th and 20th
centuries, and his influence has long been strong on
Scottish literature.
As well as making original compositions, Burns also
collected folk songs from across Scotland, often revising or
adapting them. His poem (and song) Auld Lang Syne is
often sung at Hogmanay (New Year), and Scots Wha Hae
served for a long time as an unofficial national anthem of
the country. Other poems and songs of Burns that remain
well-known across the world today, include A Red, Red
Rose, A Man's A Man for A' That, To a Louse, To a Mouse,
The Battle of Sherramuir, and Ae Fond Kiss
Sir Sean Connery
Sir Thomas Sean Connery (born August 25, 1930) is an Academy
Award-, Golden Globe-, and BAFTA Award-winning Scottish actor and
producer who is perhaps best known as the first actor to portray James
Bond in cinema, starring in seven Bond films.[1] In 1988 he won the
Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in The
Untouchables. Sir Sean Connery was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in
July 2000.[2]
Connery is known for retaining his Scottish accent in films, regardless of
the nationality of the character played.[3] Despite being older than most
contemporary sex symbols, he has repeatedly been named as one of the
most attractive men alive by various magazines due to his rugged good
looks and his height (6' 2½").[4]
