Scotland

In the third of our special features on English-speaking countries, Destinations visits Scotland, the “best small country in the world”.

For issue 100 of our magazine iT’s for Teachers we travelled to the country where I grew up. Although I was born in Wales, I spent almost all of my childhood in Scotland. My father was a Scot and my mother, who was born in New Zealand, still lives there. It’s the country I think of as home and when people ask me where I’m from, my answer is always Scotland. I hope you enjoy this feature and will use the classroom activities with your students.
