Scotland

Scotland is an integral part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. However, the political status of Scotland in this title is not marked. Although Scotland has never been an Autonomous or Federal unit of Great Britain and is no longer a Kingdom, it is not just a geographical or administrative area. Scotland can be considered as a separate country. Scots defend their national identity and preserve many institutions that do not exist in England and other English-speaking countries. They have their capital Edinburgh, their Church, laws and courts, their banks and banknotes. In Scotland, cities are called burgs (unlike the boroughs in England), and their mayors – Provost (in England – mayors), sheriffs there – judges who receive wages, not honorary dignitaries, as in England.

Footprint (78 772 sq km) Scotland is more than half the size of England and Wales taken together (151 126 thousand sq km), its population in 1991 numbered only 4989 thousand against 49 890 thousand in England and Wales. In the 20th century in Scotland, there were significant changes in the placement of the population: increased migration to the city, where now live 9 out of every 10 Scots. In the mountains and Islands, the population density does not exceed 12 people per 1 square km. However, at present, the population growth centers are not large cities, but their suburban areas.

The unicameral legislature of Scotland. The emergence of the Scottish Kingdom Parliament dates back to the XIII century. In 1707, after the unification of England and Scotland into a single Kingdom of Great Britain, the Parliament ceased to exist and was restored only in 1999 under the Scottish act of 1998.

Religion

Many Scots are Presbyterians, and their religious life takes place within the Scottish Church. The adherents of this Church make up 2/3 of all believers, it has a strong influence almost everywhere. The heresies and schisms that afflicted the Scottish Presbyterians in the 18th and 19th centuries are largely overcome. The two extant Presbyterian minority Free Church and Free Presbyterian Church has its supporters mainly in some mountain areas and the Western Isles, where they are very conservative doctrine retains its attractiveness for the population.

Transport

The Scottish railway passes only through the main cities of the region — where there are no rails, you will have to use local buses (for example, to get to highland). As in Wales, many remote towns and villages can be reached by Royal Mail Postbuses (usually no more than 4 seats). “The carrier pigeon” is usually followed by alternative routes that (a bonus for the long journey!) often run through the most beautiful corners of Scotland. The official stops these bus there, so they usually just catch on the road.
