The Highlands are steep mountains, with lochs (Scottish lakes) and misty glens. Edinburgh Castle sits on volcanic rock and was a royal home for over 900 years. Wild deer roam the hills. Loch Ness is known for Nessie, a creature some people say lives in the water.
Scotland is part of the United Kingdom, with England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and keeps its own flag and traditions. Bagpipes are loud instruments, and kilts are traditional skirts. Clans are family groups, each with a tartan pattern. The Isle of Skye has steep mountains, and Edinburgh has a history of inventors.
