scotland
I always found Scotland interesting. I remember meeting friends of the family who lived in Scotland. I always thought of people from Scotland wearing those “skirts” and playing bagpipes. After learning more about the culture and talking to my two new friends from Scotland, I find the culture even more fascinating. In Scotland the major language is English. In some parts of Scotland Gaelic is spoken. Gaelic has many similarities to the Celtic languages. My friends say that they actually prefer to speak Gaelic to English but will speak both. They told me that they speak Gaelic at home but a school they will speak English. First I wanted to start with my stereotype and that was the bagpipe issue. Bagpipes didn’t actually start being used in Scotland. They were first being used in Russia, North Africa, Germany, and Ireland. It is believed that the Irish probably introduced the bagpipe to Scotland. When the bagpipe got to Scotland, it evolved into a new bagpipe. The Scottish bagpipe had three drones. It was primarily used for military music in the Scottish regiments. I asked my friends from Scotland if they see bagpipe players often? They replied by saying that they had only seen th . . .
Andrew is now the religious capital of Scotland. It is said that a king asked for help from St. Andrew and in the blue sky showed the saltire of St. The Highland Fling is one of traditional dances of Scotland. The Scottish flag is another big part of the culture. My friend said that he has only worn the traditional outfit maybe once or twice. Haggis is the heart, lungs and liver of a sheep. It was believed that Scotland was near the end of the Greek world, so the bones were buried there. I asked my friends from Scotland if they had ever seen either of these dances done before? They replied that they had only seen them at fairs, dance competitions, or at the Highland Games. They do have many different things about them though. Well that seemed to answer my question and silence by ideas.
