A Journey to Scotland The next long journey is to Scotland. The 1( ) is Edinburgh which we’ll see in a moment. Many people’s images of Scotland can be found as 2( ) Games – sport and culture event in the west of Scotland. Edinburgh is one of the Europe’s finest cities. It is hardly changed for 3 ( ). Every year for two weeks in the late summer the city is taken away by the audience. The Edinburgh festival is the 4 ( ) cultural festival in Britain. There is always an impressive programme of music and theatre, some of each takes place in the street. At the same time as the festival you can also see the Edinburgh Tattoo – a colourful 5 ( ) display on the ground at the back of the castle. Coming north out of Edinburgh you cross the Forth 6 ( ). The bridge is so long that it takes four 7( ) to paint it. For each time you have to start painting all over again. The Forth Bridge is the only main bridge to the Highlands – an area of outstanding beauty with the 8 ( ) past. At the same time it has a wild life of all kind. At its edge there is a nature 9 ( ) Aviemore – the most important winter resort in Britain. Not far from Aviemore there is a 10 ( ) lake which has an air of mystery. Its name is Loch Ness. Lock is a Celtic word for the 11 ( ). Lower its surface there is a loch 12 ( ). People swear that have seen and photographed it.
