SCOTLAND’S COAT OF ARMS

The Scottish Highlands

• The Scottish Highlands are situated to the north and west of the Highland Boundary Fault and are very mountainous. For over a hundred years the Scottish Highlands has been the Gaelic speaking area of Scotland, although Highland English is also spoken here. The city of Iverness is generally regarded to be the capital of the Highlands.
• The Scottish Highlands are rugged and beautiful. However since they are so mountainous the some 250 000 people who live here are spread out quite sparsely in the area. The Highlands are one of the best places to go for Scottish culture since it is distinctly different from the rest of Scotland - the highland communities have a much stronger sense of their inherited culture than the lowlands and many highlanders still speak the Gaelic language.
• There are many small villages and towns in the highlands, as well as a big city in Inverness, and some islands which are inhabited. Some of the smaller villages have become craft orientated over the years and you may be able to find some real treasures. Because of the vast differences in this section of the landscape, there are big differences in climate throughout the region. This has led to the highlands producing a wide range of habitats which has in turn, encouraged an array of wildlife to make homes in the area.
• There is so much to do in the Scottish Highlands. You can explore castles and visit museums, take a boat trip or train ride. There are beautiful gardens and parks worth visiting as well as a whisky trail. The famous Loch Ness Lake is situated in the highlands and you'll find ancient monuments which can be visited. If you'd like something more adventurous, you might try pony trekking, walking, cycling, skiing, kayaking and sailing. There is no end of things to do in the highlands so you can be sure you'll thoroughly enjoy yourself here.

David Livingston

David Livingstone Born 19 March 1813 ) Blantyre , Scotland Died 4 May 1873 (aged 60) near Lake Bangweulu , Zambia Occupation Missionary and explorer David Livingstone ( 19 March 1813 – 1 May 1873 ) was a Scottish Congregationalist pioneer medical missionary with the London Missionary Society and explorer in central Africa . He was the first European to see Mosi-oa-Tunya ( Victoria Falls ) , to which he gave the English name in honour of his monarch, Queen Victoria . He is the subject of the meeting with H. M. Stanley , which gave rise to the popular quotation, "Dr Livingstone, I presume?"

Perhaps one of the most popular national heroes of the late-nineteenth century in Victorian Britain, Livingstone's mythic status operated on a number of interconnected levels: that of Protestant missionary martyr, that of working-class "rags to riches" inspirational story, that of scientific investigator and explorer, that of imperial reformer, anti-slavery crusader and advocate of commercial empire.

His fame as an explorer helped drive forward the obsession with discovering the sources of the Nile River that formed the culmination of the classic period of European geographical discovery and colonial penetration of the African continent. At the same time his missionary travels, "disappearance" and death in Africa, and subsequent glorification as posthumous national hero in 1874 led to the founding of several major central African Christian missionary initiatives carried forward in the era of the European

• Robert Burns ( 25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796 ) (also known as Rabbie Burns , Scotland's favourite son , the Ploughman Poet , the Bard of Ayrshire and in Scotland as simply The Bard ) was a poet and a lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland , and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best-known of the poets who have written in the Scots language , although much of his writing is also in English and a 'light' Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these pieces, his political or civil commentary is often at its most blunt.
• He is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement and after his death became an important source of inspiration to the founders of both liberalism and socialism . A cultural icon in Scotland and among Scots who have relocated to other parts of the world (the Scottish Diaspora ), celebration of his life and work became almost a national charismatic cult during the 19th and 20th centuries, and his influence has long been strong on Scottish literature .
• As well as making original compositions, Burns also collected folk songs from across Scotland, often revising or adapting them. His poem (and song) Auld Lang Syne is often sung at Hogmanay ( New Year ), and Scots Wha Hae served for a long time as an unofficial national anthem of the country. Other poems and songs of Burns that remain well-known across the world today, include A Red , Red Rose , A Man's A Man for A' That , To a Louse , To a Mouse , The Battle of Sherramuir , and Ae Fond Kiss
