Scottish topography

Introduction 1: Scotland is located in the north of England and has about 78,000 square kilometers of land. When it comes to Scotland, the exciting images in my mind are moving lakes and mountains, magnificent castles, cool golf courses, mellow malt whisky, tartan and bagpipes, all of which are the characteristics of Scotland.

Scotland is divided into highlands and lowlands. To the south of Edinburgh and Glasgow are valley plains and hilly areas, called lowlands; To the north are mountains and lakes formed during the ice age, which are called highlands. The Highlands of Scotland is a magnificent mountain area with magnificent natural scenery. Ben Nevis, the highest mountain in Britain, stands among these mountains. There are majestic mountains, beautiful valleys, quiet lakes, rushing streams and Yuan Ye with heather flowers. The charming highlands of Scotland are rich in changeable weather, and the drooping clouds, quiet valleys, deep romantic lakes and endless wilderness constitute an unforgettable picture. Occasionally, an exquisite farmhouse and an elegant town will suddenly come into view, bringing you a different kind of tranquility and surprise. There are countless lakes, large and small, in the highlands. The most famous one is Loch Ness, which is famous for its water monsters. Whether there are monsters under the water is still inconclusive. The vast lake, ancient legends and modern exploration have shrouded the Loch Ness monster in mystery. A little curiosity and expectation turned into wonder in front of Loch Ness. The Highlands of Scotland has always been the first choice for tourists and one of the top ten tourist destinations in Europe. Other places of interest in Scotland include the century-old University of St Andrews. As the birthplace of golf, St Andrews also has the best golf course and the oldest tournament in the world. In addition, there are nearly 800 islands in Scotland, most of which can be reached by ferry, of which 130 is inhabited. The most famous island is the picturesque Skye, where most tourists go. All the most beautiful natural scenery is in Scotland.

Scotland has a population of about 565,438+million, with a population density of 67 people per square kilometer. Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland with a population of about 600,000. It is an important industrial town in Scotland. Edinburgh is the second largest city with a population of about 500,000. It is the seat of Scottish self-government and the political, economic and cultural center. Scots are rough, friendly and kind. They have well preserved their traditional culture, and still retain their national characteristics in folk songs, music and costumes. Bagpipes, plaid skirts, golf and whisky are symbols of Scots. A tourist from China said, "Scotland is a big park. If you come to England instead of Scotland, you haven't actually traveled all over England! "
