    Scotland is country located in Northern Europe and its capital is the city of Edinburgh since at
    least the 15 th century is the seat of the Scottish Government, the Parliament and the
    Supreme Courts of Scotland. It´s also distinguished as the second most populous city with a
    population of 488,000 people. The economy of Scotland depends mostly on the sea, more
    specifically on the North Sea because of the fishing and oil. The Scottish topography is
    distinguished by the “Highland Boundary Fault” which is a geological rock fracture traversing
    the Scottish Mainland from Helensburgh to Stonehaven. The Northern part which is better
    known as Highlands, has the most mountainous terrain in the UK, also the less populated area
    due to its flat terrain (covered with moors, Wasteland). The lowlands areas in the Southern
    part of Scotland are flattered and where the most of the people lives.
