Scotland
The Highlands of
Scotland
Scotland is divided geographically and socially into
two areas – the Highlands (towards the north and west) and the Lowlands (the
south and east).
As the name suggests, the Highlands is a mountainous
region and the Highlands Scots are tough mountain people. There are the areas
of Scotland where the Scottish language (known as “Gaelic”) is most widely
spoken.
The Highlanders are proud people with a strong sense of tradition and family unity.
It is important to remember that people who live in Scotland
are “Scots” or “Scottish”. “Scotch” refers to a famous whisky. Many writers
have used the Highlands as the setting for poems, plays and novels. Perhaps the
most famous is the historical novelist Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) who wrote
“Rob Roy”, “Ivanhoe”.
Highlands Scotland is mountainous and wild. In winter
the mountains are white with snow. In summer the heather plants give them a
purple colour. For many centuries the
purple thistle has been Scotland's national emblem. There is a legend that
explains why it became the Scottish emblem. According to that legend, ancient
Scandinavians (the Norsemen) wanted to plunder the land of Scotland and settle there. So, they landed on the east coast of Scotland.
The Scots gathered their army to defend
the land. They assembled behind the
river Tay and made a camp to have rest after a long march. The Scots were
sleeping and did not expect the enemies. When the Norsemen decided to attack
the Scots, they took their shoes off not to make noise. But one of the Norsemen
stepped on a thistle. That sudden and sharp pain made him scream. So the Scots heard this
"alarm" and put the Norsemen to fight. That is how the thistle became
the emblem of Scotland.
Between the mountains
are rivers and lakes. The Scottish word for lake is “loch”. Scotland’s lochs
are deep and full of large fish. But
the biggest fish is the famous Scottish salmon.
The kilt, the most important part of Scotland’s
national dress, is made from tartan
cloth. To make a kilt takes eight metres of tartan cloth. Kilts are worn by
men and women, but a man’s kilt has a pocket made from leather and silver. It’s
worn in front and it’s called a sporran.
Bagpipe is the national instrument
of Scotland. The bag is made of leather and covered in tartan.
The people of Scotland are proud of their national
traditions.
