Separated from continental Europe by the North Sea, Scotland occupies the northern third of the Island of Great Britain. Its nearest neighbors are Ireland to the west, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Norway to the east. and England on its southern border. Scotland is a fairly isolated land made up of rugged terrain, deep coastal inlets, and many islands. The highest peak is Ben Nevis ( 4,406 ft ) The isolation and ruggedness have combined to keep Scotland's population small and its land empty, but they have also helped to make my fellow Scots an independent, proud, and determinedly self-reliant people.
