Scotland is a rugged land of lochs, dark rivers and mystical Highlands, a country ruled by nature. Hundreds of islands are strewn around its craggy shores  a thousand miles of cliffs, rocks and spectacular beaches, moulded by wind and weather. The sea shaped and tested the passionate and hardy Scottish soul and determined much of the countryÂs turbulent history. From the hills and glens of that rugged land, the Scots went forth throughout the world to leave their everlasting mark. Scotland has produced scientists, explorers, doctors, lawyers, teachers, mathematicians, engineers, economists, inventors, writers, politicians and union leaders. From Canada and the United States to India, from Africa to the idyllic islands of the Caribbean, from Russia to Australia, the Scottish influence was rooted and continues to grow. | |
