There are some things that are uniquely Scottish, such as Highland
Games, but in truth, there's no single element that defines
the country. Rather, it's a subtle blend of many different
ingredients that have been added to the mix down through the
centuries.
Here, you can find a flavour of these - Scotland's
often turbulent past, her extraordinary people, the rich diversity
of her arts and culture, and the many other features found
around the country which have produced a nation that treasures
its past and keenly anticipates its future.
It is important
to protect the range of things that make Scotland distinctive.
The Scottish countryside and culture
are some of these and the tourism industry is working hard
to sustain the quality of Scotland's environment.
