Clans of Scotland
· "Clann" means family or children in Gaelic. Each
clan was a large group of geographicallyrelated
people, theoretically a wideranging family,
supposedly descended from one ancestor, and
all owing loyalty to the head clan chief. It also
included a large group of looselyrelated
divisions related families or outside groups, all
of whom looked to the clan chief as their head
and for their protection .

Tartans in Scotland
The word 'tartan' is derived from the French
'tiretaine' which described a type of material, not
a specific color or pattern. It is not, as some
have tried to claim, of Gaelic derivation; the
Gaelic for tartan is, and has always been,
'breacan'. The earliest tartans were of undyed
wool from the indigenous Soay sheep: light
brown, dark brown and white. The oldest
preserved Scottish tartan is a fragment in these
colours known as 'the Falkirk tartan'.
National symbols
· The national flag of Scotland, known as the Saltire or St. Andrew's
Cross, dates (at least in legend) from the 9th century, and is thus the
oldest national flag still in use. Since 1606 the Saltire has also
formed part of the design of the Union Flag. There are numerous
other symbols and symbolic artefacts, both official and unofficial,
including the thistle, the nation's floral emblem, the 6 April 1320
statement of political independence the Declaration of Arbroath, the
textile pattern tartan that often signifies a particular Scottish clan,
and the Lion Rampant flag .
· Flower of Scotland is popularly held to be the
National Anthem of Scotland, and is played at events such as
football or rugby matches involving the Scotland national team
· St Andrew's Day, 30 November, is the national day, although
Burns' Night tends to be more widely observed. Tartan Day is a
recent innovation from Canada. In 2006, the Scottish Parliament
passed the St. Andrew's Day Bank Holiday (Scotland) Act 2007,
designating the day to be an official bank holiday.
The National Dances
The Flora McDonald's Fancy
The Sailor's Hornpipe
The Irish Jig
Scottish Lilt
Competition Dancing
Food & Drink
· Although the Deep fried Mars bar is jokingly said
to exemplify the modern Scottish diet, Scottish
cuisine offers such traditional dishes as haggis,
Buccleuch Scotch beef, the Arbroath Smokie,
salmon, venison, cranachan, bannock,
Scotch Broth and shortbread.
· Scotland is also known for its Scotch whisky and
its distilleries, as well as for Scottish beer.
Earliest literature from within modern
Scotland
The people of northern Britain spoke forms of Celtic
languages. Much of the earliest Welsh literature was
actually composed in or near the country we now call
Scotland, as Brythonic speech (the ancestor of
Welsh) was not then confined to Wales and
Cornwall. While all modern scholarship indicates that
the Picts spoke a Brythonic language (based on
surviving placenames, personal names and historical
evidence), none of their literature seems to have
survived into the modern era.

Scotlan History The history of Scotland begins around 10,000 years ago, when humans first began to inhabit Scotland after the end of the Devensian glaciation, the last ice age. Of the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age civilization that existed in the country, many artifacts remain, but few written records were left behind.People lived in Scotland for at least 8,500 years before recorded history dealt with Britain. The written history of Scotland largely begins with the arrival of the Roman Empire in Britain, when the Romans occupied what is now England and Wales, administering it as a Roman province called Britannia. To the north was territory not governed by the Romans -- Caledonia, by name. Its people were the Picts. From a classical historical viewpoint Scotland seemed a peripheral country, slow to gain advances filtering out from the Mediterranean fount of civilisation, but as knowledge of

As can be seen, quite a lot of children also know the name of the Great Britain flag. However, almost all of the students have no idea about other names of the British flags, as well as about the patron saints. In addition, almost 90 percent of students are also unaware about the national holidays..........23 All things considered, we see that there is a need for students to pay more attention to

Scotland ! Scotland (Gaelic: Alba) is a country in northwest Europe that occupies the northern third of the island of Great Britain. It is part of the United Kingdom, and shares a land border to the south with England. It is bounded by the North Sea to the east, the Atlantic Ocean to the north and west, and the North Channel and Irish Sea to the southwest. In addition to the mainland, Scotland consists of over 790 islands including the Northern Isles and the Hebrides. Edinburgh, the country's capital and second largest city, is one of Europe's largest financial centres. It was the hub of the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, which saw Scotland become one of the commercial, intellectual and industrial powerhouses of Europe. Scotland's largest city is Glasgow, which was once one of the

Report of SCOTLAND Maiki Joakit 10. klass 2008 Etymology Scotland is from the Latin Scoti, the term applied to Gaels. The Late Latin word Scotia (land of the Gaels) was initially used to refer to Ireland. By the 11th century at the latest, Scotia was being used to refer to (Gaelic-speaking) Scotland north of the river Forth, alongside Albania or Albany, both derived from the Gaelic Alba. The use of the words Scots and Scotland to encompass all of what is now Scotland became common in the Late Middle Ages. History Repeated glaciations, which covered the entire land-mass of modern Scotland, have destroyed any traces of human habitation that may have existed before the Mesolithic period. It is believed that the first post-glacial groups of hunter-gatherers arrived in Scotland around 12,800 years ago, as the ice sheet retreated after the last glaciation. Groups of settlers began building the first known permanent houses on Scottish soil around 9,500
