I am one of those who always thinks it fun to be in Scotland. Though Scotland is part of the United Kingdom, a political entity composed of England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, it is a country with its own very distinct heritage and culture. It is a country of tradition and history where physical reminders of the past abound in the beautiful countryside and unique cities of Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Scottish people are fun-loving, friendly, and devoted to their national culture.
Scotland, with its location in the north, is a romantic, scenic place full of mystery and beauty. The dominant feature of the city skyline is Edinburgh Castle, which stands majestically above the city. Edinburgh's museums and galleries, theaters, libraries, and shops are all outstanding and accessible. The University of Edinburgh was founded in 1583 and long has been ranked one of the world's leading universities. It has an outstanding reputation for both teaching and research, with advanced computer facilities and support, and the largest university library in Scotland.
