Scotland: The Land of Legends

If we travel all over Scotland, we can see that it consists of three main parts: Lowlands,
Uplands and Highlands with their Grampian Mountains, where the tallest mountain peak,
Ben Nevis, is located.

You are sure to enjoy the beauty of the Scottish varied landscape: the hills covered with
purple heather, its beautiful lakes (here they are called lochs), its green and narrow valleys.
The biggest and the most beautiful lake in Scotland is Loch Lomond, but the most famous
one is Loch Ness with its mysterious monster Nessie. Nessie sometimes appears to scare the
tourist but only in fine weather!
