about Scotland
Scotland is
a nation in northwest Europe and a constituent
country of the United Kingdom. It occupies the
northern third of the island of Great Britain
and shares a land border to the south with England
and is bounded by the North Sea on the east and
the Atlantic Ocean on the west. Its capital city
is Edinburgh.
The six designated cities
in descending order of population size:
Glasgow | Edinburgh
| Aberdeen | Dundee
| Inverness | Stirling
|
Scotland - language
Scotland has three distinct languages:
English, Gaelic, and Scots.
Almost all Scots speak Scottish Standard
English. It is estimated by the General Register
Office for Scotland that 30% of the population
are also fluent in Scots, a West Germanic language
sister to the English language. Slightly more
than 1% of the population are native Gaelic speakers,
a Celtic language similar to Irish. Eilean Siar
is the only unitary council region of Scotland
where Gaelic is spoken by a majority of the population
and that fact is reflected in the use of Gaelic
in its official name. Almost all Gaelic speakers
also speak fluent English.
Scotland - Banking and currency
Finance in Scotland also features unique characteristics.
Although the Bank of England remains the central
bank for the UK Government, three Scottish corporate
banks still issue their own banknotes: (the Bank
of Scotland, the Royal Bank of Scotland and the
Clydesdale Bank). These notes have no status as
legal tender in England, Wales or Northern Ireland;
but in practice they are universally accepted throughout
the UK (including in Northern Ireland, where Irish
banks also issue their own banknotes), as well as
in the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands). The
Royal Bank of Scotland still produces a £1
note, unique amongst British banks. The full range
of notes commonly accepted are £1, £5,
£10, £20, £50 and £100.
Bank of England currency is also accepted as legal
currency in Scotland.
