🏴A country on the north-western edge of Europe. A mix of islands, highlands and lowlands. A country of romance and unique traditions, very different from their imperial neighbour to the south. A nation of three different languages, its culture has survived and flourished across the millennia, delivering some of the greatest and most innovative minds found anywhere. This is the land of whiskey and haggis, Nessie and oil, golf, tartan and bagpipes. This land could only be Scotland.

🏴In this second part of a 2-part special Scotland documentary we look first at the physical geography of Scotland; its situation within Europe and the British Isles, the broad division of islands, highlands and lowlands, the climate of Scotland and the types of natural vegetation found here.
🏴The human geography of Scotland is a mix of English and Celtic (Gaelic) influences, with English, Scots and Scottish Gaelic languages being spoken today. The largest city is Glasgow, followed by the capital Edinburgh and then Aberdeen.
🏴Scotland lies as an autonomous country within the United Kingdom, having its own parliament in Edinburgh and able to enact its own laws in certain areas not reserved by the UK government. The Flag of Scotland is the cross of St Andrew, a white saltire on a blue field, while the coat of arms of Scotland is a red lion rampant on a golden shield.
🏴The Scottish economy is an advanced mixed economy typical of highly developed nations. Oil and whiskey (whisky) are its chief exports.
🏴Scottish culture is very rich, being a blend of English and Gaelic (Celtic) cultures. It has 3 notable UNESCO World Heritage Sites – Skara Brae, The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh, and the Forth Bridge. Bagpipes and tartan play a central role in ceremonial music and dress within Scotland, while the haggis and deep fried “anything” feature on the Scottish menu. The Loch Ness monster (“Nessie”) has been a legend for centuries but documentary proof of its existence has eluded all.
🏴Scotland is the origin for an astonishing number of innovations, such as the steam engine, antibiotics, refrigeration and colour photography. Famous and notable Scots include Adam Smith, Robert Burns, Robert Louis Stevenson, Sir Anthony Conan Doyle, Sean Connery, Billy Connolly and James Clerk Maxwell.

Are you a Scot? Or perhaps your ancestors are? Or you were lucky enough to visit this country at some point. Say hi, and tell us your favourite aspects of Scotland, its geography and its culture…
Nice and concise, the pictures fill me with the desire to visit Scotland. My family was from Ireland but I heard many stories of how sometimes the men went over to Scotland to work and we did have relatives from there. Thank you for the information.
Especially appreciated how you explained the connection to England. Never knew or understood how they were connected. Again, a clear and easy to comprehend history. Thank you.
My Lord such a beautiful country
I lived in Dunedin, the Edinburgh of the South, NZ – my favourite NZ city – very Scottish with their emphasis on engineering, education and hair colour.
Your videos are very informative and educational ❤ i could understand geography better from your videos ❤ please make a video on India 🇮🇳 also . Love and respect from India 🇮🇳❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻😊😊
Thank you well put together of Scotland was there in 2018 ,would love to have spent more time , Wallace tartan l see ,Lesley
Beautiful scenery and a long history.
The big lake "Loch Ness" is as clear as a mirror. Just in case there is no Nessie
My mother was an orphan. She thought she was English. She was not. She is Scottish. I know it deep in my soul.
One omission in the actor category is Sam Heughan who has risen to fame for portraying the lead actor in the series "Outlander" which was written about Scotland, Jacobites, and Scottish immigration to the US. He is a huge cheerleader for Scotland. My 3X great-grandfather was born in Greenock.
Loved it!
Scottish First Minister sworn in …in the new tongue of future "Scots" ,URDU ,soon to be ruled by aliens.
You better add URDU to the 3 languages as more speak URDU than the native Gaelic.
Burkas and Pyjama clad persons flooding Loch Lomond for Halal barbecues and more to come.
Westminster and SCOTS guarantee its demise.
This video is baloney. To state Scotland is not a country is a farce!
Typical sassenach probably born in Poland.
It’s a great list of famous Scots. But you forgot Lachlan Macquarie. So many places in Australia are named after the father of modern Australia, Governor Lachlan Macquarie.
Wow first few mins and there are already so many things wrong. Great Britain is great compared to Brittany, not Ireland. The 1707 Acts of Union joined Scotland and England into a single state, not a "customs union".
Scotland is my Homeland, where I was born and raised. Kept down by those Saxon dogs in London which must reclaim our Sovereignty as a national body free of London's Disunited Union of corruption and evil. 🏴🏴🏴😠😡💩💩🇬🇧💩💩🏴🏴🏴👍👍👍
I can't believe you left Gimli out of your list of famous Scots
Well The deep fried mars bar has nothing to do with Glasgow. It started at the haven chip shop In Stonehaven, a small town 15 miles south of Aberdeen.
Visited Aberdeen in march and I fell in love
you did miss out 1 of the most famous scots to any one under 40 … j.k Rowling as well as Fleming inventor of penicillin, Dunlop inventor of the tyre, graham bell inventor of the Catha ray tube aka tv
sir Jackie Stewart, and Jim Clark both formula 1 drivers Jim being one of the goats of motor racing sir Alex Ferguson, Bill Shankly sir Matt Busby famous football managers
Robert the Bruce and William Wallace
could you do a video on Yorkshire, you will find it extremely interesting in researching as a lot of modern society came from there
Edwyn Stephen Collins, Edinburgh
Yes indeed it's in my blood and heart and soul from Antigonish Nova Scotia means New Scotland cheers and I live in New Brunswick cheers 🍻
