SUMMARY OF TALK
Starting in 1707 after a hundred years of fighting, Scotland and England passed laws unifying the two countries. Glasgow is the largest city and the capital. Scotland is a very scenic and beautiful country. It is famous for its mountains and coastal areas. In deep Loch Ness lake is a mythical creature said to appear at times and tourists are always asked if they saw “Nessie”. Ann lived about 20 miles from there. Lockerbie is the place where Americans were killed by a bomb that downed Pan Am flight. Scotland is well known for it’s golf courses. Donald Trump tried to build one but farmers refused. Last May there was a vote to make Scotland an independent country. We will have to see if they can make it on their own. For much more on the history of Scotland please talk to Ann.
