Many people know Scotland because of men wearing kilts and drinking whisky. but there is a lot more to Scotland than these things.

Scotland has beautiful buildings and historic traditions. We have our own language, Scottish Gaelic, allow not so many people speak it these days it is our language and we are proud of it and of the songs in Gaelic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5muVg_ZWek&index=27&list=WL

There is also a lot of Scottish music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA6cnXFiE6I ;

Fiddle music is also well-known.

Highland games are a tradtional games held in certain places where dancing, singing, caber throwing and other cultural activities occur.   http://www.scotlandinfo.eu/scottish-culture-and-traditions.html

Poetry such as Rabbie burns is lovely too.Wee, sleeket, cowran, tim'rous beastie,
O, what panic's in thy breastie!
Thou need na start awa sae hasty,
Wi' bickering brattle!
I wad be laith to rin an' chase thee,
Wi' murd'ring pattle!

Thanks Charles!

The USA is a country full of secrets,but it‘s also transparent.Many people go there for freedom or fortune,and most of them will decide to stay.

A place of stories,very charming!

Thank you Gillian!

I know Scotland because of whisky and fiddle(I like fiddle music very much!) And almost everyone  have the "men wearing kilts" image of Scotland!

I didn't know the highland game before,sounds interesting!Thanks for the videos,I'm going to watch them!

And i didn't know your own language either,it looks difficult,very different from English!

The poetry is really lovely!But i don't know how to read it, i 'll find an audio later

Scotland always give me an ethereal and peaceful impression. wish i can travel to there one day.
