TEXT I
There's nowhere like Scotland. Scotland is a country in a
country. It is part of Great Britain (England, Scotland and
Wales), and of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland,
Wales and Northern Ireland).
Scotland is in the far northwest of Europe, between the
Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. It is often cold and grey,
and it often rains a lot. But the people of Scotland love their
country, and many visitors to Scotland love it too. They
love the beautiful hills and mountains of the north, the sea
and the eight hundred islands, and the six cities:
Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness and
Stirling. The country is special, and Scottish people are
special too: often warm and friendly.
There are about five million people in Scotland. Most Scots
live in the south, in or near the big cities of Edinburgh and
Glasgow. Most of the north of the country is very empty;
not many people live there.
A Scottish person is also called a Scot, but you cannot talk
about a Scotch person: Scotch means whisky, a drink
made in Scotland. Scottish people are British, because
Scotland is part of Great Britain, but you must not call
Scottish people English! The Scots and the English are
different.
These days everyone in Scotland speaks English. But, at
one time, people in the north and west of Scotland did not
speak English. They had a different language, a beautiful
language called Gaelic. About 60,000 people, 1% of the
people in Scotland, speak Gaelic now. But many more
want Gaelic in their lives because it is part of the story of
Scotland.
