Scotland is not part of England. Scotland is one of the four parts of the United Kingdom English, Welsh and Northern Ireland alongside.

Scotland's prehistory dates back more than 10,000 years to the past. Modern man began to inhabit its areas after the last, the Veiksel ice age. From prehistoric times, a large number of archaeological finds have survived from the area. Written history does not begin until the Romans arrived in Britain.

Climate

The climate is cooler than the rest of Britain. The marine climate makes summers cool rainy, and winters mild rainy. The weather varies, but there are no extreme conditions. The Gulf Stream from the Atlantic heats the area, and the Finnish snowy frost service is avoided. The average annual temperature varies from 3.5 ° C in January to 14.5 ° C in summer.

Rainfall varies widely across Scotland, with an average annual rainfall of 670.6 millimeters. The western lowlands are the wettest area in the UK; it rains more than 3,000 mm annually. In the eastern and southern parts it rains more than in the driest areas of England. Snowfall is not typical in the lowlands, but as altitude increases, they become more common.

The western part of the Hebrides off the coast of Scotland is one of the sunniest places in Britain. On the longest day of the year, the darkness in the north of Scotland does not fall at all. Lerwick and the Shetland Islands have about four hours longer daylight hours in mid-summer than London, although the opposite is true in winter.
