Scotland

Scotland is the northern part of Great Britain and a constituent of the United Kingdom. Offshore are numerous islands, including the Inner and Outer Hebrides to the west and the Orkney Islands and Shetland Islands to the north. Scotland is a Celtic land, which is reflected in dialect, folklore, custom, and architecture. It is quite different from neighboring England. The name Scotland, first used during the 11th century, is derived from the name of a Celtic tribe from Ireland, the Scotti, who settled western Scotland during the 6th century. The Romans called the area Caledonia. Edinburgh is the traditional capital.
