We sometimes like to mix parody and satire with good information. We know you're smart enough to tell the difference.

Scotland is one of the four constituent countries that form the United Kingdom.^[1] Occupying the northern third of the island of Great Britain, it shares a border with England to the south and the rest by the sea. In addition to the mainland, Scotland consists of over 790 islands^[2] including the Northern Isles and the Hebrides. Its largest city is Glasgow and its capital is Edinburgh.

Scotland is further north than the rest of the UK which makes it colder. The Scottish highlands include the highest mountain in Britain, Ben Nevis and the English think of Scotland as a cold place to the north. Scottish highland scenery has a stark beauty that is considered unique to Europe.

Politics

Scotland elects members to the UK parliament as well as the Scottish Parliament. Despite their autonomy Scottish Members of the UK Parliament have the same powers to vote on English only matters as English MP's do and there is no equivalent English parliament. The current UK prime minister is Scottish and so is the chancellor however the Scottish nationalists currently form a minority government in the Scottish parliament,^[3], making Scotland the first country in existence to vote for a party that wants independence from the country they run, this can probably be put down to a high fat diet^[4], drug dependency^[5] and inbreeding.

One controversial American

According to leading conservative Pat Robertson, Scotland is a "dark country full of homosexuals" ^[6]. However, contrary to what he thinks, Scotland does in fact get almost 10 hours of sunlight nearly every year, and many of its inhabitants are heterosexual, though they would probably make an exception in order to have buttsex with Pat Robertson, just to see the look on his face (in the mirror) they've probably never heard of Pat Robertson because Pat is American and Scotish people are UK'ers.
