Yes, I can tell you a few things about Scotland. First of all, there are some typical types of food. Have you heard about haggis? People eat it on special occasions. Another typical Scottish meal is porridge. People eat it for breakfast. But the most delicious thing is butter shortbread, a type of biscuit. Now I ll tell you about special days. The most important festival in Scotland is New Year. The Scottish people call it Hogmanay and it s more important than Christmas. In January, they celebrate the birthday of Robert Burns, a famous Scottish poet. When you live in Scotland, you ll probably see men in kilts. And you ll hear the bagpipes. That s all I can tell you but there is lots of information on the Internet or in books. Good luck in Scotland!...
