"A BIT OF
SCOTLAND"
Scotland is a country that is located in the northern part of the United Kingdom.
Despite being part of the UK, it has its own distinct culture and history. In addition
to this, the Scottish government has its own parliament and has power over
certain policy areas, such as education and healthcare. Scotland also has its own
flag, national anthem and sports teams, which are separate from the rest of the

UK, in this following presentation, we will explore these different aspects of


Scotland that make it a unique and fascinating country, which have influenced the
way of life of his people.
"Games and
traditions"
The scots have a strong connection to their land, and this is reflected in their traditions, music
and dances. One of the most famous Scottish cultural traditions is the Highland Games, which is a
celebration of Scottish culture and history. Games include events such as caber toss, tug of war,
and hammer throw. These events are not just physical displays of strength, but also a way for
the scots to connect with their heritage.
There are many Scottish dances, but within traditional Scottish dance
we could divide it into four main categories: Ceilidh, Cape Breton Dance,
Scottish Country Dancing, Highland Dance
"Scottish culture"
Scottish culture is renowned for its rich
history and traditions. One of the most
iconic symbols of Scottish culture is the
kilt, a type of pleated skirt that is
traditionally worn by men. The kilt is
made from tartan, a colorful woolen
cloth that is unique to each clan or
family. Another famous symbol of
Scottish culture is the bagpipe, a musical
instrument that is made from a bag and
pipes. This instrument is often played at
special occasions such as weddings,
funerals, and military ceremonies.

Also
Every August, the best pipers from all over the world gather in Glasgow for the world
championship. The competition lasts a week and presents the best bagpipers of the
moment. Also some legends say that the bagpipes were used in battles to generate panic
among the enemies. Scotland is a country with a great variety of culture and traditions
that remain to this day.
"Scotland and its legends"
he famous Loch Ness has been the attraction of many tourists due to the famous legend
of the "Loch Ness Monster". This legend begins to emerge around the year 1868 when an
article published that year in the Inverness Courier was the first to talk about the
existence of a huge creature or fish in the depths of the waters, years later in 1930
the Northern Chronicle newspaper published a news headlined “A strange experience in
Loch Ness” in which he told the story of two fishermen who claimed to have seen an
animal that produced a large whirlpool near Tore Point. To date it has not been proven
if the creature nicknamed "Nessi" is real or not, this famous legend is one of the
reasons why many tourists visit Scotland.
"Tourist attractions" "Edinburgh Castle"
Other reasons why Scotland attracts many
tourists is the Edinburgh Castle, this is a
historic fort found in Castle Rock. The
castle has played an important role in the
country's history and has been a royal
residence, military fortress and tourist
attraction throughout its existence.
Thousands of visitors come to explore the
castle's various exhibits, including the
scottish crown jewels and the stone of
destiny. The stone of destiny is a block of
sandstone that was used in the coronation of
Scottish Monarchs. The stone has been the
subject of various legends and myths,
including the belief that it was the stone
Jacob laid his head on in the bible, the stone
was stolen from Westminster Abbey in 1950
by a group of scottish nationalists and
returned to Scotland in 1996. Today, the
Stone of destiny is on display in the castle's
crown room. "Stone of destiny"

hands. There is no "snack" as it is known, in
England it's tea time. The English drink tea at
all times, in every way, chatting while having
