Scottish Sport
Scotland has a strong sporting tradition and invented a number of the most popular sports played around the world today including golf, rugby and tennis.
Arguably Scotland bears some responsibility for a number of other sports also including hockey which has its roots in shinty. And that's not counting teh Scottish sports which are less popular around the globe but still feature in the Olympic Games like curling.
And there's good reason for Acoltand's sporting prowess: the landscape of Scotland is a dream for sports lovers with mountains, lochs, fast flowing rivers, beaches, rock faces, forests and plains. Plus in the modern day, sports centres in all major locations.
And in 2014, Glasgow holds the Commonwealth Games. It's an exciting time to be taking part in sport in Scotland, whether you're a spectator or participating.
