Heritage of Scotland

Scotland is a country blessed with beautiful nature and a rich historical past. It is the country of philosophers like Adam Smith or poets like Roberts Burns and Sir Walter Scott. The writer of Ivanhoe was an intensely romantic person and made the history and traditions of Scotland famous again at a moment in time when they ran the risk of being forgotten. The kilt and the pipes became known once more, and even English kings, not always kind to their neighbors in the north, began to wear the traditional Scottish garments. Sir Walter Scott was so in love with his motherland that he built a romantic castle as a residence in the Borderlands. The architectural style is a mixture of different historical periods. It became the prototype for similar houses around Great Britain and the world in the 19th century.
