Scotland is a one of the most attractive and visited countries in the world. It is a part of the United Kingdom and it lies in the northern part of Great Britain, occupying almost one-third of the island. The southern border is shared with England. Its northern, western and eastern parts are washed by the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. Scotland is known for its exquisite liquor and breathtaking landscapes. The highest mountain in the British Isles, Ben Nevis, is situated there. It is located in Scottish Highlands. A famous British poet and lyricist Robert Burns wrote many poems and songs about these highlands. However, Scotland is associated not only with mountainous areas, but with bagpipes, kilts, haggis, Loch Ness monster, historic architecture and cobblestone streets of its capital city Edinburgh. Perhaps, the best time to visit this country is the last day of the year, during Scottish New Year, called Hogmanay. It’s a public holiday with major all-night celebrations, which are among the largest in the world. The largest and most visited cities in the country are Edinburgh and Glasgow. While Edinburgh is the historical, cultural and educational heart of Scotland, Glasgow is its financial and industrial center. Other major and attractive cities are Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Livingstone, Perth. Scottish flag is known as St. Andrew’s Cross. It’s a white cross on a blue background. According to the legend St. Andrew was the patron saint of Scotland, who was crucified on the similar cross. Having so many rivers, lakes, highlands and green areas, this country is believed to have one of most beautiful sceneries in the world.
ПЕРЕКЛАД
Шотландія є однією з найпривабливіших і відвідуваних країн у світі. Це частина Сполученого Королівства, яка знаходиться на півночі Великобританії і займає майже третину острова. На півдні вона межує з Англією. На півночі, заході і сході омивається водами Атлантичного океану і Північного моря. Шотландія славиться своїм вишуканим лікером і захоплюючими краєвидами. Найвища гора Британських островів, Бен-Невіс, знаходиться там. Вона розташована в Шотландському Високогір'я. Знаменитий британський поет і лірик Роберт Бернс написав безліч віршів і пісень про це високогір'ї. Проте, Шотландія асоціюється не тільки з гірськими районами, а й з волинками, картатими спідницями, стравою з баранячих потрухів під назву Хаггіс, Лох-Несським чудовиськом, історичною архітектурою і брукованими вуличками її столиці Единбурга. Можливо, найкращий час для відвідування цієї країни це останній день в році, т. Е. Напередодні шотландського Нового року, який називається Святвечір. Це державне свято з великим нічним торжеством, які є одним з наймасштабніших у світі. Найбільшими і найбільш відвідуваними містами в країні є Единбург і Глазго. У той час як Единбург є історичною, культурною та освітньою столицею Шотландії, Глазго - це його фінансовий і промисловий центр. До іншим великим і привабливим міст відносяться Абердін, Данді, Інвернесс, Лівінгстон, Перт. Шотландський прапор відомий як Андріївський хрест. Це білий хрест на синьому тлі. За переказами Святої Андрей був покровителем Шотландії, якого розіпнули на аналогічному хресті. З такою кількістю річок, озер, високогір'я і зелених зон, ця країна славиться одними з найкрасивіших пейзажів в світі
