Scotland is a small country. Only five million people live there. In the 1800s, many people left Scotland and went to other countries (United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand) because they were very poor and hungry. Today, there are six millions Scottish Americans in the USA.

Scotland is very important in the story of other countries. Some great Scots in the USA are Alexander Graham (1847-1922) he made the first telephone and Andrew  Carnegie (1837-1919)  was the richest man in the world. He gave money to build schools, universities and other buildings and today his money still helps millions of people around the world.

David Livingstone was the first European who went to the moon in 1969.

Sean Connery is the most famous Scot. He is a film star. He was one James Bond, and he also acted in The Untouchables ...... he loved Scotland very much.

Scotland is still a country of rich and poor. Some Scots, like Sean Connery, want Scotland to be just Scotland, and not part of the United Kingdom. The past is important, but many Scots also want to think about Scotland today and tomorrow. The Scots in the USA, Australia, Canada and New Zealand love the old things for e.g. the music, the dancing, but the Scots in Scotland want their country to look to the future not the past. Scotland can be like Norway, a country with five million people with a lot of money because Scotland has money from oil, fish farming, visits from tourists, banks and many other businesses.

Today there is a Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh. It is an interesting new building on The Royal Mile. Some Scots want Scotland to speak for itself, in Europe and the world because it is always going to be a beautiful, spacial place.

There is a lot of good food. It's famous for its fish, like salmon and haddock. Then there is Scottish beef and haggis. Scottish raspberries are also very good. Cranachan, is a dish made with raspberries, oats and whisky.

There are more than one hundred distilleries in Scotland. The word "whisky" comes from the Gaelic -the water of life. Another drink in Scotland is better: water. The whisky is good because the water from the hills is good.

The Highlands, in the north and west of Scotland, are a special part of the world; There is a lot of beautiful country with lochs, rivers, and hills;

The mountains are not very high, but they can be difficult; Scotland has hundreds of islands and life is different there;

There are fifty standing stones at Callanish. Time goes more slowly in this quiet, special place.

Glasgow is the third-biggest city in the UK after London and Birmingham, with a population in its area of 1.2 million.

The River Clyde facilitated the development of the city, because it became a city of shipbuilders two hundred years ago. Glasgow became  the fourth-largest city in Europe after London, Paris and Berlin.

Today is not much shipbuilding, and some parts of Glasgow are very poor, and many people have no work. But now things are changing, and Glasgow is the friendliest city in Britain according to its citizens.

Glasgow is a city with a great nightlife, for shopping, a green city (it has seventy parks), a city of museums: Glasgow City Museum and Art Gallery, the Burrell Collection and Pollock House.

Charles Rennie Mackintosh created, with some friends, the art nouveau style in architecture about a hundred years ago. Much of his best work is in Glasgow.

And Glasgow is a big football city!
