You are sure to enjoy the beauty of the Scottish varied landscape: the hills covered with
purple heather, its beautiful lakes (here they are called lochs), its green and narrow
valleys.

The biggest and the most beautiful lake in Scotland is Loch Lomond, but the most
famous one is Loch Ness with its mysterious monster Nessie. Nessie sometimes appears
to scare the tourist but only in fine weather!

But what can be more curious and attractive for tourist than a man in the kilt, playing the
bagpipes? The Celts of Scotland made the chequered pattern of tartan – the national dress
of the country. The earliest Scots formed themselves into clans (family groups) and the
<b>tartan became a symbol of the sense of kinship. There are about 300 different clans in</b>
Scotland, and each has its own colour and pattern of tartan together with the motto.

Scotland is a land of many famous people: writer and poets, scientist and philosophers,
such as Robert Burns, Arthur Conan Doyle, Alexander Graham Hell, or Alexander
Fleming.
