C
Scotland is part of Great Britain, on the north of England. It is a beautiful area with many mountains, forests, beaches, rivers and lakes. In northern Scotland, it is light until 11:30 pm in summer and in winter you can sometimes see the Northern Lights. Scotland has many islands, but people only live on some of them. Last month, I had a chance to travel there. Here is something interesting about it.
Languages
There are three languages in Scotland. Most people speak English or Scots. Around one percent of Scottish people speak Scottish Gaelic, an old Celtic language which is very different from English.
Music
In public(公共的) and cultural events(活动), you can often hear traditional music and see traditional dancing. Pipers play music on bagpipes(风笛). Pipers and dancers usually wear kilts. A kilt is a traditional skirt with a tartan(方格花纹) design which is worn by men and women.

The most popular sport in Scotland is football. Another popular game, golf, was invented in Scotland in the Middle Ages. You can go skiing or snowboarding in winter at Scotland’s five ski resorts(旅游胜地).
