Scotland

One of the 4 countries of the United Kingdom (England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales). The second most populous country in the UK after England. The biggest city is Glasgow but the capital is Edinburgh. Scotland is a beautiful country with unique scenery and friendly people. Scotland is NOT part of England and it is a terrible insult to call a Scot English or refer to Scotland as England. Scotland is often forgotten about after England. Many of us want Scotland to become an independant country as we feel the Union with the rest of the UK is causing us to lose our national identity, however we probably won't get it until the oil has run out. Education in scotland is very good, especially higher education as it is free to go to university here. we would probably get more tourists if the goverment launched a tourism campaign. All main and important transportation routes connect or go through london e.g. all British Airways flights go must connect in London Heathrow. Visit Scotland. It is a beautiful, exciting place with friendly locals and is not quite like any other country in the world.
