Scotland is a FANTASTIC country. We have great things to see, great food, great entertainment and lots of other fantastic things!
Our sights are amazing! There is Edinburgh castle. That is ancient and very, very interesting! There is also Loch Ness. Some people say that they have seen the Loch Ness monster Nessy.That is a great tourist attraction!
We have amazing food. Haggis, tatties and neeps. If your in the mood for an old fashioned Scottish dinner, I’d reccomend that. I would aslo reccomend fish and chips with a pinch of salt. YUM!
We have great entertainment in Scotland. People who play bagpipes, people who do old comedy acts and if your in the mood for something a little different, we have LOTS of varieties!
We also have lots of traditional dancing in Scotland. In Scottish schools, in gym you learn the old traditional dancing. You will learn strip the willow, military two step, Canadian barn dance, the Gay Gordons and many more!
We also have great poetry in Scotland. Mostly a famous Scottish poet Robert Burns. He has many songs and and poems.In Scottish schools, some children get together in little groups and they learn a Burns poem and after that they enter and competiton. If you win a place in the competiton, you win a reward for your school.
St. Andrew is our Patron Saint of Scotland. Our flag is that design because St. Andrew was crucified on a cross like that. The 30th of November is St. Andrews day and some people would go home that day and have a traditional Scottish dinner.
People who lived years ago wore tartan kilts. Tartan is coming back into fashion in Scotland right now. You could turn around and see someone wearing a tartan kilt. Boys usually wear kilts to weddings.
