Scotland and its capital have a long history

  What do you picture in your mind when you hear the word ' Scotland'? Bagpipes? Kilts? Mysterious lochs?

  Scotland is a land of mountains, green valleys (долины), legends and ancient castles. It has beautiful bridges and green parks.

  Its capital, Edinburgh, is built on the hills (холмы). More than 340 millions years ago there was an active volcano in that area and later there appeared hills on which the Old Town stands. The fortress (крепость), Din Eidyn, was built on the top of the rock. The fortress became the Castle of Edinburgh, the national symbol of Scotland. The Palace was the residence of the Scottish kings and queens. In the Palace there is a room where Mary Stuart gave birth (родила) to her only son, the future King James I of Scotland and England. In the Palace you can see: the Crown of the Scottish kings and queens and the Stone of Destiny (камень судьбы). It is a big grey stone which was used when Scottish and later British kings and queens were crowned. The Royal Mile is a beautiful string (вереница) of historic streets. The houses there are three  thousand and four hundred years old! Their stones can tell us about the past. There is a unique monument to a dog in Edinburgh. This is a statue of a small terrier, Bobby, that stayed at the grave (могила) of his master every year for 14 years. The Hollyrood Palace is the royal family's official residence now. But this was the place where Mary Stuart lived during the years of her short reign (правление). There are many places of interest that can tell us a lot about Scotland and its capital. They make Scotland beautiful and romantic.
