SCOTLAND.
The capital city of Scotland is the city of Edinburgh, on the east coast. The largest city is Glasgow. Other cities in Scotland are Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Perth and Stirling.
The north of Scotland has many mountains and few people live there. Most people live in the lowlands (Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Dundee) or on the coast. South of the central belt is the southern highlands, another mountainous place. On the west coast and in the north there are many islands. The highest mountain in Scotland is Ben Nevis, which is also the highest mountain in the British Isles.
The different temperate ecosystems of Scotland harbor sixty-two species of wild mammals, including a population of feral cats, a large number of gray seals and common seals and the world's northernmost colony of bottlenose dolphins.
Traditional Scottish musical instruments include: the bagpipe, the accordion, the violin, the harp and the tin whistle.
The most prominent sports in Scotland are Rugby, Soccer and Golf.
Here you have a list of some typical dishes of Edinburgh (haddock: a kind of hake, smoked herring, smoked herring, nepitos and tatties: mashed radishes and potatoes).
Places to visit: Edinburgh Castle is the most emblematic building in the city. It is on a hill in the center of the Scottish capital, and was created in the 11th century. The mountain was already recognized as a meeting point for primitive peoples, but the castle as it is is from the sixteenth century.
