Scotland is famous for its disproportionate amount of inventions and discoveries (as immortalised in [[Wha's Like Us]]), its world class universities, the Scottish Enlightenment, being the first country to adopt English as its official language decades before England, being the first industrial nation while still preserving some of the last great wildernesses of Europe, and being the home of [[golf]] and the [[Loch Ness Monster]].

As the Scottish Highlands are virtually uninhabited it is possible that, in addition to the [[plesiosaur]]s in [[Loch Ness]] and [[Loch Morar]], other [[dinosaur]] like creatures may be waiting to be discovered.
The symbol of Scotland is the thistle. Other things associated with the country are [[kilts]] ([[tartan]] skirts worn by Scotsmen), and the haunting music of the [[bagpipes]]. Famous Scottish products include [[pie]]s, [[haggis]] and Scotch [[whisky]].
