 Living in Scotland Scotland is the UK’s most northern country and has around 790 islands off 
 its coasts – 130 of which have people living on them. Scotland is well known 
 for its stunning landscapes, beautiful beaches and lochs, which are fresh water 
 lakes. There are over 600 square miles of lochs in Scotland including the most 
 famous one, Loch Ness.
 It has a population of just over five million people which is about 8.5 per 
 cent of the whole UK population. Over 2 million of these live in Glasgow and 
 Edinburgh, and almost half of Scotland’s population live in the Central Belt, 
 where both the largest city (Glasgow), and the capital city (Edinburgh) are 
 located.
 Scotland also hosts one of the biggest arts festivals in the world. This is 
 commonly known as the Edinburgh Festival but is actually made up of a 
 number of different festivals which happen at different times of the year, 
 though many do take place in August and September. Many people have heard 
 of the Fringe Festival, but there are also the International Festival, the Film 
 Festival, the Children’s Festival and the Edinburgh Mela which is an 
 intercultural festival.
