Stairt o tradeetion
The earliest uise o the white draigon like a seembol fur the Anglo-Saxons is fund in the Historia Brittonum. The erest story that effeirs til the uise o the white draigon in the Historia Brittonum, at Dinas Emyrs whan Vortigern tries tae big a castle. Ivery nicht, forces no seen malafouster the castle waws an foondins. Vortigan tawks tae his advisors. Thay tell him tae fun a laddie wi nae naitural faither, an tae sacrifice him. Vortigern funs ane, but efter hearin thit he is tae be duin awa wi tae sort oot the waws fae malafousterin, the lad daesnae pit forrit the knawledge tae the advisors. The lad tells the keeng aboot the twa draigon. Vortigern appens up the brae, lattin awa the twa draigon. Thay keep on wi thair fecht an the reid dragon beats the white draigon at the hinder end. The lad tells Vortigern thit the white draigon maks a seembol fur the Saxons an the reid draigon is a seembol fur the fowk o Vortigern.
The story is telt again in Geoffrey of Monmouth's fictional History of the Kings of Britain (c. 1136). In this version, the lad is kent as the young Merlin. The Historia Brittonum an History of the Kings of Britain are the anely medieval texts tae uise the white draigon as a seembol fur the Inglis.
A seemilar story wi white and reid dragons fechtin is fund in the mediaeval romance Lludd and Llefelys, awtho in this case the draigons arena uised as seembols fur Britons or Saxons. The fecht atween the twa draigon is the seicont plague tae git tae the island o Breetain, as the white draigon wad kemp tae beat the reid draigon, makkin the reid lat oot a feart screich heard ower ilka Brythonic hearth. This screich gaed through fowk's herts tae the pynt thit the men lost thair tune an strenth, weemen lost thair bairns, young lads an lassies went aff thair heids, an aw the animals, trees, yird an the watters war left malafoustert.
At the hinder end, Lludd did awa wi the plague bi catchin the draigons an yirdin thaim in a rock pit at Dina Emrys in Snowdonia, north Wales, the maist siccar airt in Breetain at the time. He capturt the draigons bi diggin a pit unner the exact pynt whaur the draigons wad faw doun, pechin fae the fecht.
The draigons war happit up in the satin kivverin an war pit in tae be buried at Dinas Emrys.

Sopot
Sopot (Kashubian: Sopòt; German: Zoppot) is a seaside toun in Eastren Pomeranie on the soothren coast o the Easter Seas in northren Poland, wi a population o approximately 40,000.
Sopot is a ceety wi powiat (coonty) status, in the Pomeranie Voivodeship. Till 1999 it wis pairt o the Gdańsk Voivodeship. It lees atween the lairger ceeties o Gdańsk (Danzig) tae the sootheast an Gdynia tae the northwast. The three ceeties thegither mak up the metropolitan agglomeration o the Trójmiasto (Tri-Ceety).

The ceety is famous for its Sopot International Song Festival an aw, the lairgest sic event in Europe efter the Eurovision Song Contest. Amang its ither attractions is a foontain o bromide spring watter, kent as the "inhalation mushroom". ask kacper
Etymologie
The name is thocht tae derive frae a auld Slavic wird sopot meanin "stream" or "spring". The same ruit occurs in a nummer o ither Slavic toponyms; it is probably onomatopeic, imitatin the soond o runnin watter - murmur (Šepot). (The day several streams run intae the sea in the aurie o the toun.)
The name is first recordit as Sopoth in 1283 an Sopot in 1291. The German Zoppot is a Germanisation o the oreeginal Slavic name. In the 19t century an in the interwar years the German name wis Polonisit as Sopoty (a plural form, closer tae the German pronunciation). "Sopot" wis made the offeecial Pols name when the toun came again unner Pols rule in 1945.
Early history
The aurie o the day's Sopot contains the steid o a 7t-century Slavonic (Pomeranie) stranghauld. Initially it wis a commercial tred ootpost for commerce extendin baith up the Vistula river an tae ceeties north athort the Easter Seas. Wi time the significance o the stranghauld diminished an bi the 10t century it wis reducit tae a fishin veelage, eventually abandoned. Housomeivver, a century later the aurie wis settled again an twa veelages wur foondit athin the borders o the day's' ceety: Stawowie an Gręzowo. Thay wur first mentioned in 1186 as bein grantit tae the Cistercian abbey in Oliwa. Anither o the veelages that constitute the day's Sopot, Świemirowo, wis first mentioned in 1212 in a document bi Mestwin I, who grantit it tae the Premonstratensian (Norbertine) monastery in nearbi Żukowo.
The veelage o Sopot, which later became the namesak for the whole ceety, wis first mentioned in 1283 when it wis grantit tae the Cistercians. Bi 1316 the abbey haed bocht aw veelages in the aurie an became the awners o aw the aurie o the ceety. Efter the Seicont Peace o Thorn (1466) the aurie wis reincorporatit intae the Kinrick o Poland.
The spa for the ceetizens o Gdańsk haes been active syne the 16t century. Till the end o that century maist noble an magnate faimilies frae Gdańsk biggit thair manor hoosees in Sopot. Durin the negotiations o the Treaty o Oliva Keeng John II Casimir livit in ane o thaim, while Swadish negotiator Magnus de la Gardie residit in anither — it haes been kent as the Swedish Manor iver syne.
Durin the 1733 War o the Pols Succession Imperial Roushie troops besiegit the nearby ceety o Gdańsk an a year later luitit an burned the veelage o Sopot tae the grund. Hintle Sopot wad remain abandoned durin an efter the conflict. In 1757 an 1758 maist o the ruined manors wur bocht bi the Pomeranie magnate faimily o Przebendowski. General Józef Przebendowski bocht nine o thir pailaces an in 1786 his widae, Bernardyna Przebendowska (née von Kleist), bocht the remainin twa.
Kinrick o Proushie
Sopot wis annexed bi the Kinrick o Proushie in 1772 in the First Pairtition o Poland. Follaein the new laws imponit bi Keeng Frederick the Great, kirk property wis confiscatit bi the state. The veelage wis reconstructit an in 1806 the aurie wis sauld tae the Gdańsk merchant Carl Christoph Wegner.
In 1819 Wegner opened the first public bath in Sopot an treed tae promote the newly established spa amang the indwallers o Danzig, but the unnertakkin wis a financial failure. Housomeivver, in 1823 Dr. Jean Georg Haffner, a umwhile medic o the French airmy, financit a new bath complex that gained significant popularity. In the follaein years Haffner erectit mair facilities. Bi 1824 a sanatorium wis opened tae the public, as well as a 63-metre pier, cloakrooms, an a pairk. Haffner dee'd in 1830, but his enterprise wis continued bi his stepson, Ernst Adolf Böttcher. The latter continued tae develop the aurie an in 1842 opened a new theatre an sanatorium. Bi then the nummer o tourists comin tae Sopot ivery year haed risen tae amaist 1,200.
In 1870 Sopot saw the openin o its first rail line: the new Danzig-Kolberg rail road that wis later extendit tae Berlin. Guid rail connections addit tae the popularity o the aurie an bi 1900 the nummer o tourists haed reached amaist 12,500 a year.
In 1873 the veelage o Sopot became a admeenistrative centre o the Gemeinde. Suin ither veelages wur incorporatit intae it an in 1874 the nummer o indwallers o the veelage rose tae ower 2,800. At the beginnin o the 20t century it wis a favourite spa o Emperor Wilhelm II. The ceety again became a holiday resort for the indwallers o nearbi Danzig, as well as walthy aristocrats frae Berlin, Warsaw, an Königsberg. Suin efter Warld War I a casino wis opened in the Grand Hotel as the primar soorce o money for the treasury o the Free Ceety o Danzig.
In 1877 the sel-govrenment o the Gemeinde bocht the veelage frae the stryndants o Dr. Haffner an stairtit its further development. A seicont sanatorium wis constructit in 1881 an the pier wis extendit tae 85 metres. In 1885 the gas wirks wur biggit. Twa years later tennis courts wur biggit an the follaein year a horse-racin track wis opened tae the public. Thare wur several facilities biggit for the permanent indwallers o Sopot an aw, no anerly for the tourists. Amang those wur twa new kirks: Protestant (17 September 1901) an Catholic (21 Dizember 1901).
The Treaty o Versailles
Follaein the signin o the Treaty o Versailles in 1919, Sopot became a pairt o the Free Ceety o Danzig. Due tae the proximity o the Pols an German borders, the economy o the toun suin recovered. The new casino became ane o the main soorces o income o the tiny free-ceety state. In 1927 the ceety authorities rebuilt the Kasino-Hotel, ane o the maist notable laundmerks in Sopot the day. Efter Warld War II it wis renamit as the Grand Hotel an continues tae be ane o the maist luxurious hotels in Poland.
A Richard Wagner festival wis held in the nearbi Forest Opera in 1922. The festival's success caused Sopot tae be whiles referred tae as the "Bayreuth o the North". In 1928 the pier wis extendit tae its present lenth o 512 metres. Syne then it haes remained the langest firthen pier in Europe an ane o the langest in the warld. In the early 1930s the ceety reached its peak o its popularity amang foreign tourists — mair nor 30,000 annually (this nummer daes nae include tourists frae Danzig/Gdansk itself). Housomeivver, bi the 1930s, tensions on the nearbi Pols-German mairch an the risin popularity o Nazism in Germany saw a decline in foreign tourism; in 1938 local German Nazis burned doun Sopot's synagogue.
Warld War II (1939-1945)
Warld War II breuk oot on 1 September 1939. The follaein day the Free Ceety o Danzig wis annexed bi Nazi Germany and maist o the local Poles, Kashubies, an Jews war arrestit and imprisoned or expelled. Due tae the war, the ceety's tourist industry collapsed. The last Wagner Festival wis held in 1942.
Sopot remained unner German rule till 1945. On 23 Mairch 1945 the Soviet Airmy teuk ower the ceety efter several days o fechtin, in which Sopot lost approximately 10% o its biggins.
As per the Potsdam Conference, Sopot wis incorporatit intae the post-war Pols state. The authorities o Gdańsk Voivodeship wur locatit in Sopot till the end o 1946. Maist o the German indwallers who haed remained in the ceety efter the evacuation afore the advancin Reid Airmy wur suikn tae be forcibly expelled frae thair hames, tae mak room for eastren settlers frae Pols auries annexed bi the Soviet Union.
Fowkrepublic o Poland (1946-1989)
Sopot recovered rapidly efter the war. A tramway line tae Gdańsk wis opened, as well as the Schuil o Muisic, the Schuil o Maritime Tred, a librar, an a airt gallery. Durin the ceety presidency o Jan Kapusta the toun opened a annual Airts Festival in 1948. In 1952 the tramways wur replacit bi a hivy-rail commuter line connectin Gdańsk, Sopot an Gdynia. Awtho in 1954 the Schuil o Airts wis muivit tae Gdańsk, Sopot remained an important centre o cultur, an in 1956 the first Pols jazz festival wis held thare (till then jazz haed been banned bi the Communist authorities). This wis the forerunner o the continuin annual Jazz Jamboree in Warsaw.
In 1961 the Sopot International Song Festival wis inauguratit, awtho it wis held in Gdańsk for its first three years – it muivit tae its permanent venue at Sopot's Forest Opera in 1964. In 1963 the main street o Sopot (Bohaterów Monte Cassino, "the Heroes o Monte Cassino") wis turned intae a pedestrian-anerly promenade.
New complexes o baths, sanatoria, an hotels wur opened in 1972 an 1975. Bi 1977 Sopot haed approximately 54,500 indwallers, the heichest iver in its history. In 1979 the historical toun centre wis declared a naitional heritage centre bi the govrenment o Poland.
Third Pols Republic (1989 onwards)
In 1995 the soothren bath an sanatoria complex wur extendit significantly an the Saunt Adalbert spring opened twa years later, as a result in 1999 Sopot regained its offeecial spa toun status.
In 2001 Sopot celebratit the 100t anniversar o its ceety chairter.
