Q. Where is it? ect...
A. Scotland is in the U.K. region of Europe. I think it is just north of England. They wear kilts, play bagpipes, eat something called haggis (which I don't know what that is) and they are verys similar to Ireland. Scotland is a Celtic country just like Ireland. They share a similar style in last names, mostly names that have a Mc as a part of them. A lot of Celtic music comes from Scotland as well.
England ruled Scotland for many generations. The English burnt their houses down, raped their women, killed them, and did all kinds of horrible things to them. William Wallace, a Scotsman, was a big leader in the fight for Scotland's independence. Watch the movie "Braveheart" starring Mel Gibson as William Wallace if you haven't seen it. It will show you just a hint of what the English actually did to the Scottish until Scotland won it's freedom from England.
I've actually met a Scottish woman before. Her name was Irene and I met her a few years ago in a bookstore. My sister was with me. She was a really neat lady. I just listened to her talk most of the time because I loved the way she talked. I love people with accents. She said that in Edinburgh, Scotland, they have an annual festival called the Tattoo festival, but it doesn't have much of anything to do with actual tattoos. I don't remember what it actually is about, though.
As with every country, Scotland has it's own neat culture, customs, beautiful sights and scenery, and neat people. I have never been there, but I am going to go there someday. I have heard that I have some Scottish in me, so I might go and see if I can find any family history there. I know I have a lot of Irish in me, so Scottish isn't too far fetched I guess.
