In USA Click Here In UK Click Here The People and Culture of Scotland The inhabitants of the Scottish Highlands were originally of Celtic descent, and a small number of them still speak Gaelic, an ancient Celtic language which is now being encouraged once again in schools. In the southern part of the nation, the people are descended from ancient Scots with liberal inputs by Nordic influences and a bit of Anglo-Saxon. The Scots have been stereotyped as being thrifty, cautious, and careful of detail. They are far from being all alike, however. Scotland is a country in which individualism flourishes. This rich mix explains, in part, why Scots have been responsible for more of the significant discoveries and inventions we take for granted in today's world than any other nationality. Most church-going Scots belong to the national Church of Scotland, which is Presbyterian. The congregation of each kirk (church) chooses its own minister after a trial sermon, and every member of the church has some share in governing it. In general, sermon and prayer occupy a larger place in the church service than ritual and music. The Roman Catholic church has many members, especially in the Greater Glasgow area where there are many people descended from Irish immigrants. The Episcopal church of Scotland resembles the Church of England but is an independent body.

St. Mary's Independent School, Melrose, Scotland, UK Sporting and Cultural Life at St. Mary's Preparatory School Sports All pupils at St Mary's follow a sports programme designed to inculcate the values of fair play, honesty, determination and application through a wide variety of pursuits in which participation is the key. Sport is a vital part of independent school life for children of all ages and is a natural compliment to our academic and cultural life. Rugby, Hockey and Cricket dominate the boys' games timetable. St Mary's Preparatory School is proud to have produced a number of Scottish rugby internationals and, situated as we are next to Melrose RFC (the birthplace of sevens rugby), we hope to produce a few more. Netball, Hockey and Rounders are priorities for the girls. The games fields are extensive and include an all-weather play top surface. Competitive fixtures are arranged with other IAPS and local schools with a view to giving as many children as possible the chance of playing in a representative side at U11 or U13 level. Our marvellous rural surroundings offer excellent opportunities for cross-country, and swimming lessons take place in the summer term at a nearby swimming pool. Girls enjoy hockey practice at St. Mary's Independent School*

ARENA Working Papers WP 98/3 Scotland's Parliament: Devolution, the Media and Political Culture Philip Schlesinger Department of Film and Media, University of Stirling Introduction This chapter considers the relationships between constitutional change, the news media, and the reshaping of political and communicative boundaries in the United Kingdom. We need to think again about these spaces because they are being reshaped from above and from below. The first source of pressure is the ineluctable march of the European Union into the heartlands of political life. And secondly, there is the imminent impact on the British state of an autonomous, national, Scottish polity, the first major step in a wider process of constitutional reform. Although the EU provides the wider framework for this discussion, the devolution of powers to a new Scottish parliament is my principal focus here. This is already propelling questions of media policy onto the public agenda in Scotland and provoking the development of a new political culture. Political communication and the nation-state Political communication - the purposive communication by political actors about politics - conventionally takes the nation-state as its framework. In everyday political life it is still generally assumed that the United Kingdom is a bounded, sovereign polity, with its own national political agenda, communicated by its own national media. This dominant view of the relations between national political space and national communicative space is still supported by a well-established perspective in the theory of nationalism, which needs to be revised, and is beginning to be so.

Kirkin o' the Tartan ... Want to know what Scotland looks like? (Check out these maps) St Andrew , The Patron Saint of Scotland St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland and the official St Andrew's Day is on November 30th. Andrew, the Apostle, was added to the communion of saints of the Pictish Church in the 8th century. The legend was that St Rule, a Greek monk, was told by an angel to take the relics of St Andrew to Scotland. While different versions of the story exist, it seems that a religious shrine was created at "Cennrigmonaid" which is known today as the town of St Andrews. Both Columba and St Andrew became emblems of the Church of Scots which emerged from the Church of Picts and, subsequently, St Andrew was widely accepted as Scotland's patron saint. Around 1143-60, a new cathedral and priory was located at St Andrews. Pilgrimages to St Andrews were encouraged by Queen Margaret who instituted a free ferry to transport "pilgrims to the Apostle" across the Firth of Forth. In 1320, the identity of the Scottish nation was supported by the "Declaration of Arbroath" in which the words "our patron and protector, Andrew" appear.

Scottish Culture Scotland is alive with cultural diversity and awash with gifted performers, writers and artists. Actors such as Sean Connery and Ewan MacGregor , having risen to stardom on the back of their internationally acclaimed performances, have become ambassadors for their country and the Scottish film industry. Theatre production is on a high with Edinburgh's Traverse and Glasgow's Arches companies paving the way. Leading popular musicians Rod Stewart Travis Texas Belle and Sebastian and the up-and-coming Mull Historical Society keep Scotland at the forefront of the industry. They stand alongside similarly talented but more traditional performers, the fiddler Aly Bain , accordionist Phil Cunningham , celebrated jazz musician Tommy Smith , and composer Sally Beamish From the days of Charles Rennie Mackintosh to contemporary artists Jaqueline Donachie Roderick Buchanan Lyn L–wenstein and Julie Roberts , art and design from Scotland holds a unique, always distinctive and sometimes daring appeal.
