A Journey to the Heart of Vibrant Traditions
Over the centuries, Scotland has developed a strong culture that its people have preserved and enriched. The different migrations, battles, national heroes, tumultuous history, thinkers, and geniuses of this small country have shaped its legends, stories, well-established traditions, and unique identity. Ghosts, goblins, monsters, and beliefs are part of the daily example, but we must not forget its great authors like Walter Scott, Robert Louis Stevenson, or Robert Burns.
The Gaelic language, although it was never spoken throughout the entire country and has few speakers, still holds a lively influence. It can be found in place names and the daily life of Scots, particularly in the Outer Hebrides. Generally speaking, it is during Ceilidhs, Highland Games, or festivals like the Fringe where one fully grasps the scope of the national cultural richness.
