---------------

三個蘇格蘭 Scotland 的小常識：

蘇格蘭位於英國北部，面積大概是78000平方公里，總人口約為550萬人。

Scotland is a country in the northen part of the United Kingdom. It is more than double the size and a quarter the population of Taiwan.

想到蘇格蘭，腦中一定會浮現出各式各樣的美景，像是高地景觀、島嶼、湖泊、城堡以及許多知名的高爾夫球場。

Scotland is known for its beautiful landscapes, which include the Scottish Highlands, islands, and lochs, as well as its castles, and golf courses.

很多人相信高爾夫球的起源地就是蘇格蘭，其中最有名的高爾夫球場聖安德魯斯 更被譽為高爾夫之家。

The game of golf is believed to have originated in Scotland, and the country is home to some of the world's most famous golf courses, including St. Andrews, which is considered to be the "home of golf."

獨角獸是蘇格蘭的國家代表動物，在他們皇家軍服上的獨角獸圖騰象徵著純粹及力量。

The national animal of Scotland is the unicorn, which is featured on the country's coat of arms. The unicorn is a symbol of purity and strength, and it is said to have been chosen because it was considered to be the most powerful animal.

因為他們獨有的蒸餾熟成工法，讓蘇格蘭的威士忌擁有獨特的風味，風靡全球。而這裡提供一個冷知識，你知道嗎? 蘇格蘭一年出產多至10億公升以上的威士忌。

Scottish whisky, also known as Scotch, is known for its distinct flavor given by the unique distilling and aging process in Scotland. The country produces more than 1 billion liters of whisky each year.
