13. Language Today all Scots speak, read and write English. But Scottish English is a little different than the English that is spoken in the rest of Britain. Long time ago people in the Lowlands spoke Scots and people in the Highlands spoke Gaelic. Today most people use a mix of Scots and English in daily speech. Scottish Words wee [wi:] = small [sm ɔ :l] lass [læs] = girl [g з :l] lad [læd] = boy [b ɔ ı] hus [hu:s] = house [ha ʊ s] brun [bru:n] = brown [bra ʊ n] aye [aı] = yes [jes] kirk [k з :k] = church [t ʃз :t ʃ ] loch [l µχ ] = lake [leık] ken [ken] = know [n əʊ ] bairn [be ən ] = child [t ʃa ıld] Which words sound a bit like Norwegian?

14. The Loch Ness Monster An old legend says that a sea monster lives in Loch Ness. Every year thousands of tourists travel to Scotland’s most famous lake in hope of spotting “The Lady of the Lake”. In 1987 the whole lake was searched with sonar. The scientists found something that appeared to be bigger than a shark, but smaller than a whale. They checked for signals a second time, but didn’t find anything. Why didn’t they find her? Perhaps it is because Loch Ness is very deep and dark. There are some photos which show something that looks like a monster. In 1934, someone took this picture. Do you think it’s real?

15. Can Loch Ness be hiding a monster after all?

16. Typically Scottish Haggis is Scotland’s national dish. It’s made of lamb’s liver, suet (nyretalg), oats, stock, onions and spices. It is cooked inside a sheep’s stomach.

17. The Haggis Song

18. Typically Scottish…Piping The Bagpipe is the national instrument of Scotland. Piping is a very important part of Scottish culture. A long time ago the English tried to destroy Scottish culture. So, they decided that it was illegal (ulovlig) to play the bagpipe and to wear tartans (rutemønstret / skotskrutet stoff).

20. Typically Scottish…Kilts The Scottish national costume for men is the kilt. Each clan (storfamilie, klan) has its own tartan. When you look at a man’s kilt you can tell which clan he belongs to. Men wear kilts mostly for formal events.

21. St Andrew the Apostle is the patron saint of Scotland. St Andrew’s Day is usually celebrated with traditional food, dancing and music – especially bagpipes.St Andrew’s Day St Andrew’s Day Kids St Andrew’s Day St Andrew’s Day Kids
