Scottish* Culture
(* denotes a culture rather than a country)

Background: Scotland is a component country of the United Kingdom--with England, Wales, and Northern Ireland--and the most northerly of the four. See United Kingdom for a map that includes Scotland. It occupies about one-third of the island of Great Britain. It is bounded by England in the south and on the other three sides by sea: the Atlantic Ocean on the west and north and the North Sea on the east.
