Who never saw Scotland, he really does not know the UK.Scotland - the country in the United Kingdom, in the north of England. Its symbol - a thistle, its patron - Saint Andrew. The country is divided into the Highlands and Lowlands (High and Low earth?). Most of the industry is concentrated in the Lowlands, in the Clyde Valley. Glasgow - the largest bustling city, Edinburgh - the capital. Glasgow and Edinburgh - two large central Scotland. Between them a total of 45 miles and will you get from Glasgow to Edinburgh in about an hour by train, but the city is very different.Glasgow - the heart of the industry. It is the center of business and commerce. This is a busy, thriving, dirty in some parts and trim in other cities, it was beautiful and ugly, with its large port and lively streets.Edinburgh is quite cold, but attractive, very proud, but friendly and has a great past. Edinburgh is known as the Athens of the North. It is an ancient town and if you walk in his district, you can feel the history at every turn. Almost every building has a story to tell.The most interesting part of the city - the old town and the new town. Old town lies between the Castle and Holyrood Palace. Castle hangs over the city, as in any Disney cartoon, but it is reality. The castle, in fact, older than the city.No one can say exactly when the first settlers came to live on a huge rock that stands higher than Edinburgh (which dominates the Edinburgh). Later, they built a castle, which was used as a fortress, then as a royal palace. It looks good in any weather, but at night, full of light projectors, looks like a castle from a fairy tale. Not surprisingly, the Castle attracts many tourists.
