Our Side of the Mountain
Scotland is an island across the North Atlantic Ocean. It is east of us. Scotland is a part of the UK, which is Europe. The capital city is called Edinburgh. There is no war in Scotland. Some say there is a monster in the Loch Ness in Scotland. The North Sea is all around Scotland. Some of the industries are making beer and selling fish. The main resources are fishing, agriculture and oil in the North Sea and also whiskey, the Gaelic word for life. The traditional language is Gaelic and is still spoken in some part Scotland as well, as English. The people are called Scots. Scots invented the game of golf in the twelfth century. I would like to visit and look up my people. Scotland scientists are studying the first ever-breathing animals found recently. It is a millipede. It was discovered at Stonehaven. It is the oldest air-breathing creature ever to have existed. My grandfather is from there. His name is Smith.
