Scotland is the north part of Great Britain. Five million people live in Scotland. Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland.
.

A long time ago the Scots built many large churches beside the river. These churches were called Abbeys.

The Scots built Melrose Abbey in 1136 but the English destroyed it in 1544. In the days of the Abbeys, the hills and farms were full of sheep and they still are.

Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and the third largest in the United Kingdom. Before 1750 Glasgow was a small town. It had a cathedral and a university but it was not a rich town.

After 1707 Scottish ships could go to the English colonies in America. Ships brought tobacco to Glasgow and took back Scottish goods.

Heavy industry began to develop. It used coal and iron from the Clyde valley. Glasgow became rich but very dirty.

Glasgow has a busy cultural life. A lot of musicians, actors and singers come to Glasgow to give concerts.

In the evenings the opera house, the cinemas and the concert halls are full. In cafes and pubs small groups sing, act, read poetry.
