Cultural lcons of Scotland (1)
|
Today we are going to introduce some of the different historical and culture elenments that can be rightly claimed to be unique to Scotland. As you will discover, some of thoese perhaps did not originate in Scotland while others have travelled with the many migrants who left these for distant lands and so have became established elsewhere. Nevertheless, each of the items featured here represents something of a Scotland icon, something of which most Scots are fiercely proud to claim as their own.
Whishy
Ask people what they associate most with Scotland, and you'll probably get a varitiety of answers. But the most common answer is like to be whisky. Acknowledged as Scotland's national drink, whisky has also become a national icon. In Gaelic--the Celtic language of Scotland--whisky is a strong alcoholic drink made from malted grain. The type of whisky produced in Scotland is called Scotch. Scotch has been produced for hundreds of years. One can only speak of real Scotch if it has been distilled in Scotland and aged in wooden barrels for at least three years. Today the whisky industry is the main pillar of the Scottish economy.
