Scotland is a part of the United Kingdom, located on the British Isles and occupying approximately 30% of the island. The total area of the state is about 78 thousand km2. It can be divided into eight parts: Central Scotland, South West, Edinburgh, Glasgow, West Coast, Orkney and Shetland Islands, Inverness and Highlands, Aberdeenshire and Grampian Highlands.
Nowadays, this country is one of the most visited tourist places in the whole world. Its popularity is usually connected with its best-known and unique liquors, doodlesacks, haggis and tartan as well as its spectacular and astonishing landscapes. Scotland has a great history studded with thrilling myths, tales and legends. Many people dream of visiting Loch Ness which is considered to be one of the Scotland’s largest lakes, because they hope to see the legendary Loch ness monster there and take some photos with it.
Moreover, the majority of Scots are friendly, welcoming and helpful hosts. If you need some help, piece of advice or bed and breakfast, they’re glad to offer you what you need. Although, there can be some troubles with understanding of what they say, in spite of the fact that they speak international English language. Their pronunciation is very different from "Received Pronunciation" we used to learn at school – Scots have their own accents and dialects. Besides, the country is a motherland of famous writers, artists, scientists and other celebrities. For example, Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, and TV-chef Gordon Ramsey were born there. However, the most famous celebrity of the country is probably Sean Connery.
Unfortunately, the system that provides the accommodation and benefits to new immigrants is a little bit disorganized, and if you want to live there you should be ready for a long term integration.
