'''Scotland''' is the second largest country of the [[United Kingdom]].
It is about three-eighths the size of its larger neighbour England, but is much less populous; most of the population lives in the ''central belt'', a band across central Scotland between the capital [[Edinburgh]] and the city of [[Glasgow]]. Other cities are [[Aberdeen]], [[Dundee]] and [[Inverness]].

A poignant example of violent crime was the 1996 Dunblane massacre<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/march/13/newsid_2543000/2543277.stm Massacre in Dunblane school gym]</ref> where the balding, bespectacled [[Child abuse|paedophile]] Thomas Watt Hamilton entered Dunblane's public primary school with two 9 mm Browning HP pistols and two Smith & Wesson .357 Magnum revolvers. He let off 109 rounds of fully metal jacketed and hollow point [[ammunition]] killing sixteen pupils and one teacher before finally shooting himself in the [[head]]. The ensuing [[liberal hysteria]] led to a campaign, fronted by the [[liberal media]], for [[gun control]]. This was enacted shortly afterwards leaving innocent citizens unable to defend themselves against the rising tide of crime. As a consequence [[rape]] skyrocketed <ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/5043806.stm Rape claims continue to increase]</ref>.
