The capital of Scotland is called Edinburgh, it's one of the biggest cities and it's one of Europe's largest financial centres. Edinburgh was the hub of the Scottish Enlightenment of the 18th century, which transformed Scotland into one of the commercial, intellectual and industrial powerhouses of Europe.

The climate of Scotland is temperate and tends to be very changeable. We can say that it's warm.
Scottish people are very characterized because they drink lots of beer and because they have scottish music like a significant aspect of the nation's culture, with both traditional and modern influences. The most traditional Scottish instrument is the Great Highland Bagpipe more common like "Bagpipe"; it's a wind instrument consisting of three tubes and a melody pipe, they're fed continuosly by a reservoir of air in a bag.
