Guide
Visit the highlands and lowlands of Scotland.
Travel and Tourism Scotland
Scotland is a country in the
northern part of the island of Great Britain. Along with England, to the south,
and Wales, to the southwest, and Northern Ireland on the other British island,
Scotland is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Scotland is about 30,000 square miles in area, which is about the size of the
state of South Carolina. The capital of Scotland is Edinburgh. Scotland can be
divided into three main parts, the Highlands in the north, the Lowlands in the
center, and the Uplands in the south. The coastline is rocky and irregular,
indented with many sea lochs (narrow inlets) and firths (wide inlets). The
country is dotted with beautiful lakes, also called lochs. Many islands surround
Scotland, including the Shetland and the Orkney Islands to the north and the
Hebrides to the west. The Uplands are a region of rolling hills and valleys,
with many rivers such as the Tweed, the Clyde, and the Teviot. The Lowlands are
the most populated.

Edinburgh
Scotland's Capital City
Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, is one of Europe's most handsome cities. The
beauty of its setting and its predominantly stone buildings, allied with its
intellectual traditions, have justly earned it the title of 'Athens of the
North'.
It is also a city of fine gardens, and open spaces including Holyrood Park -
with the twin peaks of Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags - one of the largest
city centre natural parks in Europe, and Princes Street Gardens, between the Old
and New Towns.
