    Five million people live in Scotland and 80,000 Scots speak Gaelic.
    Wales is smaller with three million people, but about 600,000 people
    speak the Welsh language.
    The north of Scotland is called the Highlands, and it is very
    beautiful with lots of mountains. The highest mountain in the UK,
    Ben Nevis (1344 metres), is in Scotland. Wales has lots of mountains
    too, and the highest Welsh mountain is Mount Snowdon (1085
    metres).
    Scotland and Wales have lots of old castles. You can see Edinburgh
    Castle in the picture on page 30 and Harlech Castle in Wales in the
    picture on the right.
    Scotland also has its own sports, called the Highland Games, and its
    typical musical instrument, the bagpipes.
