- 29. ABOUT SCOTLAND… Scotland's mainland is 275 miles (440km) from north (Cape Wrath) to south (Mull of Galloway) and 154 miles (248km) at its widest point (Buchan Ness to Applecross). But the furthest you can get away from the sea is 40/50 miles. At its narrowest, Scotland is only 25 miles wide (from the estuaries of the rivers Clyde and Forth). Its land area is just over 30,000 square miles. The most northerly point on the mainland is Dunnet Head in Caithness. The coastline of mainland Scotland is 6,200 miles long. Scotland makes up over 30% of the area of the United Kingdom (with less than 10% of the UK population). The Shetland Islands are nearer to Oslo, capital of Norway, than London, capital of the United Kingdom. The highest mountain in the UK is Ben Nevis (4,418 feet). There are 790 islands off the coast of Scotland of which 130 are inhabited. Scotland's longest river is the Tay (120 miles).
- 30. Traditional Scottish Songs As I walked into Glasgow City, Nancy Whisky I chanced to spy. I walked in, sat down beside her, Seven long years spent by her side. Chorus Whisky, Whisky, Nancy Whisky, Whisky, Whisky, Nancy-O! I've got silver in my pockets, And I'm going to follow wherever you go. The more I kissed her, the more I loved her. The more I kissed her, the more she smiled. I forgot my mother's warning, Nancy soon had me beguiled. Chorus As I walked down through Glasgow City, With a heavy heavy heart and an achin' pain. So many men all courtin' Nancy, I'll not leave that lass again. Nancy Whisky
- 31. The Old Man of Hoy - Orkney. Old Man of Hoy ÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌýÌý The Old Man of Hoy is Britain's tallest and probably most photographed sea stack. At 137m high and only about 30m wide at its base, this imposing rectangular stack has been carved from layer upon layer of Old Red Sandstone (Devonian) rocks. The shaping of the stack can be traced back through the centuries through paintings and maps. In 1750, the Old Man was depicted as a headland, but by the 1820's stormy seas had carved the rock into a stack and arch - two legs gave the Old Man his name. A severe storm however, washed away one of the legs to leave the pillar that remains - for now! The rocks of the Old Man are composed of alternating layers of soft sandstones and more resistant flagstones of the Upper Old Red Sandstone. These rocks lie over a base of dark Old Red Sandstone basalt lava flows. Jointing and faulting in the sedimentary rocks occurs in rectangular form and this is reflected in the blocky shape of the Old Man and surrounding cliffs. The stack stands about 60m away from the cliffs; in between lies a pile of debris which is the remains of the roof of the arch that collapsed. The future will almost certainly bring the total demise of the Old Man. There is already a large 40m crack running vertically from the top of the stack which threatens its upper reaches. Waves will also continue to erode the base of the stack until the entire pillar collapses.
