Scotland is a country that is part of the United Kingdom.
Covering the northern third of the island of Great Britain,
mainland Scotland has a 96-mile border with England to the
southeast and is otherwise surrounded by the Atlantic
Ocean to the north and west, the North Sea to the
northeast and east, and the Irish Sea to the south. Most of
the population, including the capital Edinburgh, is
concentrated in the Central Belt—the plain between the
Scottish Highlands and the Southern Uplands—in the
Scottish Lowlands.
Scotland is divided into 32 administrative subdivisions or
local authorities, known as council areas. Glasgow City is
the largest council area in terms of population, with
Highland being the largest in terms of area.

It’s official: the Scots are the friendliest people in
the UK. That’s according to a study of more than
400,000 Britons, which found notable
differences in people from different parts of the
country. Scottish humour is dark and self-
deprecating. They like to laugh at themselves. The
Scots accent is regularly voted the friendliest,
most trustworthy and most calming accent in
Britain.

Scotland is internationally known for its traditional music, which remained
vibrant throughout the 20th century and into the 21st, when many traditional
forms worldwide lost popularity to pop music. In spite of emigration and a
well-developed connection to music imported from the rest of Europe and
the United States, the music of Scotland has kept many of its traditional
aspects; indeed, it has itself influenced many forms of music.
