Magical land of rugged highlands, misty castles, white sandy beaches, verdant green landscapes, endless stone walls, dotted with sheep and age old cottages to the north of England. With its meteor showers and northern lights, the night sky in Scotland is truely beautiful. Through the ages, it has produced some of the most brillant writers, philosophers, scientists, inventors, and actors in the world.
Scotland is distinct from England, as it has its own history, literature, legal system, educational system, building style, and heros.

Sean Connery, David Tennant, and Karen Gillan are some of the finest actors to come from Scotland in recent times.

Gaelic name: Alba.
The northernmost country of the United Kingdom. Reknowned for tartans/kilts(which men look stunning in!), the lovely Highlands, many languages (Gàidhlig, Scots),
and much grief from the English.
Americans are known to settle there because of less expensive homes. The country is already very mixed up with people; native Scots could eventually be overwhelmed.

"Latha Math!" (Good day!)
"I'm sorry?"
"Nach eil Gàidhlig agaibh?" (You don't speak Gaelic?)
"I'm afraid that I don't understand you, ma'am... I thought you people spoke English."
"We do speak English... and Gaelic was our original language before the bloody English came in!"

A word used when drinking alcohol. If you want someone, or multiple people, to finish thier drinks, you shout "SCOTLAND!" and whoever it is directed towards HAS to chug the rest of their drink.
Person 1 is babying their drink
Person 2: Come on man we gotta go, finish your drink!
Person 1: Dude chill, we're not gonna be late.
Person 2: Yeah I'm not taking that chance, SCOTLAND!
Person 1: .... Fuckkkkkk me *begins to chug drink*
