Highlands and Islands
To the north of Edinburgh and Glasgow are the Highlands of Scotland:
mountains with few trees, wild deer and many sheep. It’s one of the most
picturesque places in the world.
The Highlanders, the people of the area – are very devoted to their country
with its striking beauty, though it is not so prosperous as other places in
Britain. Most of these people are farmers and fishermen. Scotland does a lot
of fish trading. On the small islands to the north and west of Scotland there
are fishing and farming villages. The houses in the villages look modest but
they have to be strong enough to keep people warm in winter when cold
winds blow from the sea. Some of the people still speak Gaelic, the ancient
Celtic language of Scotland.
