One fact about them is that one of their official (and ethnic) languages is Scottish Gaelic. In modern times, this is an endangered minority language that has been largely replaced with English. It is increasingly being revisited and taught in the country.[1] Appearance His shirt is a white shirt with short puffed bell sleeves and a blue crochet vast over it and hes wearing a kilt, a Scottish garment resembling a knee-length skirt of pleated tartan cloth. Sometimes they are seen in casual attire, such as a hoodie and jeans. Sometimes they wear a hat of Scottish origins, such as the tam o’ shanter. Though these are the most popular depictions of Scotland, it is worth remembering that Scottish people do not go about their lives constantly kilted and in traditional clothes, and usually such things are worn for special occasions like weddings and funerals. Personality Scotland is a cheery and friendly person. They and Ireland are quite good friends. They're the life and soul of the party, especially if you know them. They like drinking whisky, and have a high alcohol tolerance, but when they get drunk they get a little loud and wild. Whenever they're messing around with Ireland they get rather loud and energetic. The not-so-good side of Scotland is the complete opposite, this can be seen when they're angry, embarrassed or feeling emotional, the longer they're like this, the scarier they get. Whenever they are angered, they usually berate the culprit with colorful slang. They can also get violent but this is usually when they catch someone or learns that someone has hurt one of their friends, they also get easily annoyed and angered when drunk. When they're embarrassed they would usually start swearing and threaten anyone who would attempt to tease them, although they usually never back up their threats when they're like this. When they are feeling emotional it is best to just leave them alone for a little bit, as it isn't just the one emotion that they would be feeling. Especially when they are upset, as their anger easily overtakes them. Interests Scotland has a passion for playing the bagpipes when the opportunity arises. This is stereotypical, but it is important to them as a part of their national culture and tradition (and a great way to bother England). They mainly get to play it on special occasions like funerals, weddings and other large gatherings. They have an interest in poetry thanks to individuals like Robert (Rabbie) Burns, whose "Auld Lang Syne" is a popular poem-turned-song played or sang often at New Year's, and who has become an important figure of national pride. The Highland Games are fun and culturally significant to them. Golf Flag Meaning Color, meaning HEX RGB #005EB8 0, 94, 184 #FFFFFF 255, 255, 255 There are some legends and theories about the meaning behind the Scottish flag such as: "Walter Bower in his Scotichronicon (the 1440s) supplies a legend according to which Saint Andrew appears to king Óengus II in 832, on the eve of a battle against the Angles. The saint advises the king to watch for the "sign of the Cross of Christ in the air". The "Cross of Christ" in this legend is later turned into the Saint Andrew's Cross or Saltire, in the account of George Buchanan (1506–1582), where "a miraculous white saltire appeared in the blue sky" during the battle."[2] Nicknames Scott Scotty Alba ( Scotland in Scottish Language) Caledonia (by the Romans [formerly]) Etymology "Scotland" comes from Scotti, the Latin name for the Gaels; Scotia initially referred to Ireland. From the ninth century, the meaning of Scotia shifted to designate Gaelic Scotland and by the eleventh century, the name was being used to refer to the core territory of the Kingdom of Alba in what is now east-central Scotland. The use of the words Scots and Scotland to encompass most of what is now Scotland became common in the Late Middle Ages, as the Kingdom of Alba expanded and came to encompass various peoples of diverse origins. [3] Origin of language Gaelic has been part of the Scottish consciousness for centuries and is considered to be the founding language of the country. The origins of Gaelic can be traced back as far as the 10th Century and is believed to have been brought to Scotland from Ireland. History Pre-history It is believed that the first people to live in Scotland was around 12,800 years ago, Back then Scotland was mostly forests and bogs with the main way to traverse was by boat. The first known villages were thought to be built roughly 6000 years ago. Evidence of sophisticated pre-Christian belief systems is demonstrated by sites such as the Callanish Stones on Lewis and the Maes Howe on Orkney, which were built in the third millennium BCE. The first written reference to Scotland was in 320 BC by Greek sailor Pytheas, who called the northern tip of Britain "Orcas", the source of the name of the Orkney Islands. In the first millennium BCE, the society changed to a chiefdom model, with different villages and clans having different chiefs. In 79 AD, the first Roman invasion of Scotland began. The Roman general Agricola defeated the first Caledonian army at the battle of Battle of Mons Graupius in 83 AD. After their victory, the Roman Empire began building forts close to the highlands but they were quickly stopped and forced to retreat back down to the southern uplands. The Romans erected Hadrian's Wall in northern England and the Limes Britannicus became the northern border of the Roman Empire. The Roman influence on the southern part of the country was considerable, and they introduced Christianity to Scotland. Independence and UK-EU Membership Referendum In September 2014, there was a huge referendum in Scotland asking Scottish citizens if they wanted independence. This had been planned since November 2013 with the UK Parliament. The English gave reluctant approval of this referendum. Voting took place between 07:00 and 22:00. Schools are used as polling stations so it was quite important as children got the day off. There were many campaigns supporting "Yes," and many campaigns supporting "No," Scottish towns had put up posters encouraging people to change their opinions on the vote. On 18th of September 2014, the results were announced. The "No" side won with 2,001,926 votes. "Yes" had 1,617,989 votes. It was a very close referendum. This referendum is quite important to Scottish history as it could have changed the whole of the UK in the lead up to the present time. By 2021 it is theorised that the Scottish parliament wants another referendum. This is because of the process of the UK leaving the EU. When the "Yes" side won, it was revealed most Scottish and Northern Ireland citizens voted "No" to this referendum. However, it is also theorised though that an independent Scotland may not be allowed to enter the EU as it needs acceptance from the other 27 members. (If you don't include the UK.) and with the ongoing Catalonia problems in Spain, the Spanish government might not approve. However, these are just theories and nothing can be concluded unless "Yes" in the next (possible) referendum goes through.[4][5][6] In recent days, there has been growing urges for the independence of the country, polls suggest. Geography Scotland is situated in the United Kingdom, in the north of Europe. It is the most Northern part of the British Isles. Its total area is 77,933 km² so it is not big compared with other countries such as Germany or France. However, it is the second biggest country in the United Kingdom behind England. Scotland's highest point being Ben Nevis at 1345 m (4,413 ft). The only other country it land borders is only England, however, countries/islands nearby include: Shetland (Islands) Orkney (Islands) Hebrides (Inner and Outer) Ireland Northern Ireland Wales Scotland has almost 800 islands, (though the official number is 790.) These islands are mostly very small ones and most of them are northern. Most of them are uninhabited or inhabited by few. Scotland is also subdivided has 32 council areas. Scotland also has three main areas, named geographically: Lowlands (the most southern and populous part of the country) Midlands (also a largely populated part of the country, located in the middle of the country) Highlands (the most northern, mountainous, hilly and least populated part of the country.) The main places (and most populated) in Scotland are the cities, such as: Glasgow Edinburgh (capital) Dundee Aberdeen Inverness Relationships Family Dal Riata - Dead parent Pictland/Picts - Dead parent Ireland - Sibling, occasionally (historically inaccurate) Northern Ireland - Nibling or sibling, occasionally (historically inaccurate) Wales - Sibling, occasionally (historically inaccurate) United Kingdom - Child Denmark - Cousins, occasionally Finland - Cousins, occasionally Iceland - Cousins, occasionally Norway - Cousins, occasionally Sweden - Cousins, occasionally Friends France - "I mean, this was way back in the day this happened, we both had our sour-ish relation with England, and cause of that, a little spark started, i helped ya' to fight the English when you needed the help and like a true friend you helped me fight them when i needed it. I know we didn't really see eye to eye when you helped United States gain its independence, but i truly did want to help more than i did, but i had to convince England that i was on their side, give you guys a lil insider knowledge ya know. I'm glad to have you as a friend, and not many other countries have ever been as close as you have been. You're a good ol' friend to me and i won't forget the time we spent together!" Ireland - "Wee ol' drinking buddy, we both "dislike" the English. Though sometimes we don't get along as much as people think we do, in all honesty, i strain the relationship slightly. Though, saying that, they are a nice guy to chat with. I mean we both kinda wanted independence from the United Kingdom at some point. Although i decided tae stay." Neutral Northern Ireland - "Most ey the time we're mates, sometimes they ticks me off, especially when they starts trying to fight Ireland, they're mah wee buddy so, back aff em! But i will agree wi' ye in some senses; the United Kingdom is a mess, the whole Brexit thing is a pure disaster." Wales - "Yer ma wee sibling, what else is there to say? Wi' the whole Brexit mess we haven't had the time tae mess about, i know it isn't yer fault that it went through, just like me England convinced ye to vote fir it. Hopefully, nae matter the outcome, we would be able to go out wan night and have a wee drink ay?" Italy - "Now what to say about Italy, heh in short words, one of the greatest influences on me, especially when it came to food. My people learned so much from you when it came to cooking, this is shown with the fact we now have started deep-frying practically everything, from the pizzas you gave us all the way down to chocolate bars. I know you don't like bringing it up but, i am still deeply apologetic about what my people did to yours during WW2, what they did to the good Italian people who just wanted to live over here or trying to escape the war it still sickens me till this day." Norway - "Ahh Norway, me and them have had a lot of history with each other, back when I was a little less civilised, me and them used to fight all the time, mostly because their kept trying to take me over but they learned what it's like to fight against a Celtic warrior that never backs down! Ever since then we've always kept an eye on each other, we had little arguments over the Orkney Islands and the Shetland Islands and who actually owns them, although I'm the one who usually wins the argument, I can tell that Shetland wants to go back to Norway. Due to them just being over the water we like to have a laugh and mess around with each other." European Union - "LET ME IN!" Enemies England - (On good terms, for now) "I dinnae know about us anymair. Mates, enemies, frenemies? I dinnae ken at this point. My people hate ye' - but that's mostly fir a joke! But still! I did decide tae stay wi' ye throughout all these years. I thought it would make ye happier that we weren't fighting anymair. I guess though i can't really hate you all that much, we like tae go fir a drink once in a wee while and we fought together ever since me, them and Wales brought the Union into place. Hmm, at least ye regret the whole Brexit process now that ye've seen wit an absolute mess it is. I can respect that." United Kingdom - (On good terms, for now) "Most of the time we get along, but fir once would you let me say what's on mah mind! Like seriously! I didn't want to be apart of this "leave EU" gang of yours, i never even wanted it to happen, but i regret letting you convince me to join in with you, and i know you regret coming up with the idea. Despite how our relationship has been throughout the years, i still consider you as a friend, sometimes. With the time that has gone, I've been able to think, and so have my people, with the chaos that has happened and that the truth about what will happen to us has come out, we decided to want to stay with the EU, and that we will try our best to stay with them, even if that means i have to try and go Independent again." Russia - "Ach, bloody heck! STOP ATTACKIN UKRAINE! They didnae' deserve that!" ISIS Opinions United Kingdom Scotland and the United Kingdom have a complicated relationship. Though the UK was formed by a voluntary union between Scotland and England, and subsequently UK is typically portrayed as Scotland's childs, their relationship as of late has been strained by the Scottish independence movement. They are not outright enemies, but their future is uncertain. Wales Scotland and Wales are fellow Celts and members of the United Kingdom. They bond over a shared distaste for England and cultural and historical ties, and are generally friendly, though unafraid to poke fun at each other. England England and Scotland have a long and bloody history. In the past, they fought many battles against each other, and were bitter enemies for centuries on end. Things started to shift, however, and they unified a few failed instances until eventually they created the United Kingdom together in 1707. While they are on better terms than they were in the past, the two nations still are not exactly best friends. They maintain a rivalry and like to mock each other, generally much more lightheartedly than in previous years. Scotland's wishes for independence in particular are a current source of tension. Northern Ireland Northern Ireland and Scotland are generally on positive terms (more can be added). France France and Scotland formed the Auld Alliance against England in the past, and to this day enjoy mocking England. Ireland Ireland and Scotland have close political, economic, community and cultural ties and are attempting to strengthen their relationship. They both dislike England due to past events and have a lot to say about the United Kingdom. He's 32
