Scotland is in the north of Britain and has got a lot of wild, mountains countryside in the Highlands. There are four main regions in Britain - England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. Scotland is famous for its lakes which are called lochs in Scotland. Although Scotland is a part of Britain it's got own traditions. For special occasions some Scottish men wear a kilt rather than trousers. The patterns are called "tartans" and each important family has got its own design.
