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.

Proverbs from the Scottish* Culture

	Better wear out shoes than sheets.
	It's a sad house where the hen crows louder than the cock.
	Were it not for hope the heart would break.
	When the cup is full, carry it even.
	Better bend than break.
