Please contact the author. The Country Scotland occupies the northern half of the British mainland and includes the majority of the islands comprising the British Isles. Landscape, history, traditions, as well as outlook, contribute to its distinctiveness. In size, it is slightly smaller than Austria or, in US terms, almost the same as that of Maine. It is divided geographically as a consequence of its geology into three parts - the Highlands of the north, the Central Lowlands and the Southern Uplands.
