Language Exchange in Scotland

Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Scotland is the United Kingdom’s northernmost country, and in addition to the mainland is made up of 790 islands. Much of the landscape is mountainous wilderness strewn with deep valleys and stunning vast lochs. The northern hinterland offers spectacular views of the Northern Lights along with whale watching and golden eagle spotting opportunities.

 Edinburgh, with its iconic hilltop castle, is the capital city and is host to a fabulous programme of year-round comedy and film festivals. The other major city, Glasgow, is famed for its stylish and cultural vibrancy along with some seriously handsome Victorian buildings. The national dish Haggis is a tasty savoury pudding mix of meats and spices. Scotland has two celebrated national drinks, Whisky and the carbonated soft drink Irn-Bru. Both are best enjoyed whilst listening to the traditional melodic tones of a tartan clad musician playing the famous Scottish Bagpipes.
