Два больших острова и множество маленьких расположены на северо-западе Европы. Они известны как Британские острова. Самый большой остров называют Великобританией. Другой большой остров называется Ирландия. На Британских островах расположены два государства: Ирландия и Соединенное Королевство Великобритании и Северной Ирландии. Великобритания, или Британия, - это название самого большого острова, который является восьмым по величине островом в мире. Соединенное Королевство Великобритании и Северной Ирландии — политическое название страны, в которую входят Англия, Шотландия, Уэльс и Северная Ирландия (или её ещё называют Великобритания). Люди часто называют Соединенное Королевство Великобританией или Британией, что неверно. Столицей Великобритании является Лондон. Население Великобритании составляет около 60 миллионов человек. Следует помнить, что в Великобритании живут не только англичане. Шотландцы, валлийцы и ирландцы — тоже британцы. Британцами также являются люди других этнических групп, родители которых приехали в Великобританию в 1850-х и 1860-х годах из Индии, Пакистана, Гонконга и других мест. Большинство британцев говорят по-английски, но такие языки, как валлийский, гэльский и другие, тоже используются людьми и преподаются в школах Соединенного Королевства.

Scotland in February. Weather in February was not very friendly, rainy and overcast. But we still decided on a long trip by car in the direction of a country that has long attracted me. We drove 10 hours, stopping in the very beautiful city of York, and on the way back to town giving.

But now an Edinburgh. The air was mist and because of this city seemed even more bleak and gray, but that did not stop us from enjoying walks on such an old and interesting city. These buildings and houses of blue-gray stone breathed great history and keeps a lot of secrets. I froze a little bit, but walking through the streets of Edinburgh with pleasure and wanted to see as much as possible.
