The Scottish Highlands

• The Scottish Highlands are situated to the north
  and west of the Highland Boundary Fault and are
  very mountainous. For over a hundred years the
  Scottish Highlands has been the Gaelic speaking
  area of Scotland, although Highland English is
  also spoken here. The city of Iverness is
  generally regarded to be the capital of the
  Highlands.
• The Scottish Highlands are rugged and beautiful.
  However since they are so mountainous the some
  250 000 people who live here are spread out quite
  sparsely in the area. The Highlands are one of
  the best places to go for Scottish culture since
  it is distinctly different from the rest of
  Scotland - the highland communities have a much
  stronger sense of their inherited culture than
  the lowlands and many highlanders still speak the
  Gaelic language.
• There are many small villages and towns in the
  highlands, as well as a big city in Inverness,
  and some islands which are inhabited. Some of the
  smaller villages have become craft orientated
  over the years and you may be able to find some
  real treasures. Because of the vast differences
  in this section of the landscape, there are big
  differences in climate throughout the region.
  This has led to the highlands producing a wide
  range of habitats which has in turn, encouraged
  an array of wildlife to make homes in the area.
• There is so much to do in the Scottish Highlands.
  You can explore castles and visit museums, take a
  boat trip or train ride. There are beautiful
  gardens and parks worth visiting as well as a
  whisky trail. The famous Loch Ness Lake is
  situated in the highlands and you'll find ancient
  monuments which can be visited. If you'd like
  something more adventurous, you might try pony
  trekking, walking, cycling, skiing, kayaking and
  sailing. There is no end of things to do in the
  highlands so you can be sure you'll thoroughly
  enjoy yourself here.

GAMES OF HIGHLANDERS

• Over the summer months, Aberdeen and Grampian
  Highlands has a packed calendar of traditional
  Highland Games. Scottish Highland Games are a
  series of events where people gather to watch
  athletes from throughout Scotland and further
  afield toss the caber, throw the hammer, and take
  part in many other traditional games.
• Colourful, exciting, competitive, memorable,
  world famous - just a few of the words that sum
  up the fun of Scottish Highland Games. From the
  skill and agility of the heavies, the colourful
  and proud massed pipebands, and the traditional
  flair of the highland dancers, this is a historic
  spectacle not to be missed.

Outstanding people

• David Livingston
• David Livingstone Born19 March 1813)Blantyre,
  ScotlandDied4 May 1873 (aged 60)near Lake
  Bangweulu, ZambiaOccupationMissionary and
  explorerDavid Livingstone (19 March 1813 1 May
  1873) was a Scottish Congregationalist pioneer
  medical missionary with the London Missionary
  Society and explorer in central Africa. He was
  the first European to see Mosi-oa-Tunya (Victoria
  Falls), to which he gave the English name in
  honour of his monarch, Queen Victoria. He is the
  subject of the meeting with H. M. Stanley, which
  gave rise to the popular quotation, "Dr
  Livingstone, I presume?"
• Perhaps one of the most popular national heroes
  of the late-nineteenth century in Victorian
  Britain, Livingstone's mythic status operated on
  a number of interconnected levels that of
  Protestant missionary martyr, that of
  working-class "rags to riches" inspirational
  story, that of scientific investigator and
  explorer, that of imperial reformer, anti-slavery
  crusader and advocate of commercial empire.
• His fame as an explorer helped drive forward the
  obsession with discovering the sources of the
  Nile River that formed the culmination of the
  classic period of European geographical discovery
  and colonial penetration of the African
  continent. At the same time his missionary
  travels, "disappearance" and death in Africa, and
  subsequent glorification as posthumous national
  hero in 1874 led to the founding of several major
  central African Christian missionary initiatives
  carried forward in the era of the European

• Robert Burns (25 January 1759 21 July 1796)
  (also known as Rabbie Burns, Scotland's favourite
  son, the Ploughman Poet, the Bard of Ayrshire and
  in Scotland as simply The Bard) was a poet and a
  lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national
  poet of Scotland, and is celebrated worldwide. He
  is the best-known of the poets who have written
  in the Scots language, although much of his
  writing is also in English and a 'light' Scots
  dialect, accessible to an audience beyond
  Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and
  in these pieces, his political or civil
  commentary is often at its most blunt.
• He is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic
  movement and after his death became an important
  source of inspiration to the founders of both
  liberalism and socialism. A cultural icon in
  Scotland and among Scots who have relocated to
  other parts of the world (the Scottish Diaspora),
  celebration of his life and work became almost a
  national charismatic cult during the 19th and
  20th centuries, and his influence has long been
  strong on Scottish literature.
• As well as making original compositions, Burns
  also collected folk songs from across Scotland,
  often revising or adapting them. His poem (and
  song) Auld Lang Syne is often sung at Hogmanay
  (New Year), and Scots Wha Hae served for a long
  time as an unofficial national anthem of the
  country. Other poems and songs of Burns that
  remain well-known across the world today, include
  A Red, Red Rose, A Man's A Man for A' That, To a
  Louse, To a Mouse, The Battle of Sherramuir, and
  Ae Fond Kiss

Sir Sean Connery

• Sir Thomas Sean Connery (born August 25, 1930) is
  an Academy Award-, Golden Globe-, and BAFTA
  Award-winning Scottish actor and producer who is
  perhaps best known as the first actor to portray
  James Bond in cinema, starring in seven Bond
  films.1 In 1988 he won the Academy Award for
  Best Supporting Actor for his role in The
  Untouchables. Sir Sean Connery was knighted by
  Queen Elizabeth II in July 2000.2
• Connery is known for retaining his Scottish
  accent in films, regardless of the nationality of
  the character played.3 Despite being older than
  most contemporary sex symbols, he has repeatedly
  been named as one of the most attractive men
  alive by various magazines due to his rugged good
  looks and his height (6' 2½").4

Washington D.C. shown wearing the Clan Maclean
hunting tartan Connery has long supported the
Scottish National Party.
