It's the country of romance, history, war, and hardship. It's the country of brave men dressed in kilts, playing the haunting music of the bagpipes, and raising gooseflesh on those who hear them. It's the country of crags and lochs, giant stags and of whisky distilled using water from deep peat bogs.The uniqueness of Scotland and the independent spirit of its people has been the cause of much conflict with its English neighbors over the centuries. The refusal of the Scots to give up their culture and amalgamate with those of their conquerors left deep resentment and frustration, but undeniably, the Scottish people are admired for their stubborn passion for their own culture.
