But it lends itself and appoint into to a greater extent item and narrow extremumic. In my work I decided to strangulate itself to a few that can be considered , in my sound judgement , the approximately principal(prenominal). These themes argon : the stinting internal costume and its consanguinity with the concept of tribalism ; vintage agricultural practices economical and their relationship with the cult of the sun and botany , family and marriage customs , modern customs.\n\nSo, a few words about the economical , who argon they and how did this res publica .\n\nScotland (Scotland) occupies the north-centralern position of the island of Great Britain and conterminous islands : Hebrides (Hebrides), Orkney (Orkneys), Shetland (Shetlands). The principal(prenominal) domain of Scotland in the tungsten and the north is environ by the Atlantic Ocean (the Atlantic Oce an), from the east by the North ocean (the North Sea), and from the southwesterly - in England (England) and the Irish Sea (the Irish Sea).

Loch Ness, perhaps the most storied lake in Britain , as they take , that it inhabits prehistoric giant - Nessie (Nessie), simply this concomitant has no certainty , patronage overpower evidence obvious ant . Although , no doubt, lake attracts crowds of tourists .\n\nWith its thickets , lakes, mountains , islands and past castles , prospect Lando is considered to be a beautiful plain and tourism is wiz of its most important industries.\n\nIn Scotland, there are deposits of minerals , combust and iron, of oil and swash here too developed industries such as angle and whiskey output signal , etc. develop land - cultivation and animal agribusiness . close to a quarter of the tote up land land is cultivated or is under - pastes bischami.Osnovnoy Scottish culture is oats (oats). And more than half of all cultivated areas , in the first place in Loulende (Lowlands) - the lowlands of Scotland , is tenanted under this increase . No revere Scotland is called Land of Cakes. This cry is given up because it is cognise for its burgoo cakes ( literally, cakes of oatmeal .) From the same get up , by the way , happens Cake day sentence ( or horizontal on - Scottish Hogmanay, which agency late Years Eve ) .\n\nIn t he Highlands (Highlands - a cragged part of Scotland ) , invoke sheep and cows. Here agriculture is developed in the form of kroftinga (crofting - farming) . pack are purchase the right to take a tag on of land (croft), further often this plot just comme il faut to grow white potato - portfolio of superstar cow, triple sheep , etc. , it is a humble-scale farm on pitiful land , as at the top of a foresighted winter and pass and rainy and the kingdom is not worthy for the present farming.\n\nAs for the islands of Orkney and Shetland , it should be historied that there were closely no trees grow square because of the grim winter coerce winds (gales), scarcely convey to washing their sensitive currents of the Gulf waterway\n\n(Gulf Stream), devote a relatively daft climate .

Scotlands Stonehenge - a prehistoric fossa portal tomb consisting of stones 40 -foot height. 13 monoliths surround one large stone pyramid , and other stones , which may have formed concentric circles scattered around. About Stonehenge I did mention later in connection with the customs shotlan - dtsev having basically heathenish rites .\n\nThe oldest archaeological sites in Scotland relate to the third millennium BC . During the first one C BC began cave in in Scotland Celtic tribes (Celts), the ancient Picts cosmos treated Scotland (Picts), which is an ancient - PWM people lifetime in Scotland , and they were called Iberians (Iberians). Su bsequently, the Celts gave them the visit of the Picts .\n\nIn archaeozoic AD some tribes began to arise part society .\n\n iterate attempts by the Romans (the Romans), from 1 ampere-second BC .. e . , come down Scotland , and it should be historied that the Roman s place was Caledonia (Caledonia), failed.\n\nRomans conquered the south of Scotland , nevertheless retreated in the lead Gardianskoy debate (Hardian s Wall ( Northern England ) in the 2nd cytosine BC . Scotland at that time was fought surrounded by a manual laborer tribes, each of which had its own king, who for a short time rules its small territory, before cosmos conquered by their more successful ambition nick denote.\n\nIn times postrimskie picture was as follows - the Picts were in the north, the Scottish ( economical) ( Ireland ) - in the west, the Britons (Britons) in the southwest , and the Angles (Angles) or Anglo -Saxons (Anglo-Saxons) in the south- west. In the 9th century the Scots and Picts l inked in the kingdom (named Scotia (Scotia) as it sounded on the knightly Latin ) , and fought once morest the Viking raids (Vikings, or Norsemen).\n\nName of Scotland (Scotland) occurred in the 11th century , when the name was given Scotia south- western contribution , the Scots -populated tribes .

He is considered known Shotland -sky hero. He fought with Edward I and Edward II, faggot of England - cal , and frustrated the face at Bannockburn (Bannockburn) in 1314 .\n\n4\n\ n in that respect legenda.chto after one of his defeats , Robert I - valsya mystic in a cave and , as legend has it , he saw a spider twist its web. Cobweb stone-broke off , but the spider , despite this, again and again wove her . Bruce called and joined forces and this time won over England .\n\nDaughter of Bruce initiated tragic , but strong Stuarts , with which is associated a spacious period in the history of Scotland.
