Scotland is internationally known for its traditional music, which has remained vibrant throughout the 21st century, when many traditional forms worldwide lost popularity to pop music. In spite of emigration and a well-developed connection to music imported from the rest of Europe and the United States, the music of Scotland has kept many of its traditional aspects; indeed, it has itself fluenced many forms of music.

SCOTLAND Scottish Customs and Traditions

There are so many Scottish customs and traditions that we can only touch the surface here. But people from all four corners of the globe know that we are nation rich in history and culture,

and many of our traditions have been adopted throughout the world. If I asked 1,000 people from around the world what they associated with Scotland or Scottish customs and traditions, we

would get a variety of answers. To some it would be the scenery, to others whisky or golf, or some of the folklore such as Nessie, the Loch Ness Monster. Other folk would think of

men in kilts and Highland dancing; while others might think of bagpipe music. Perhaps some scientists among us might think

of all the inventions made by famous Scots such as the telephone and television or the discovery of penicillin, while

others might remember that the great philanthropist Andrew Carnegie was a Scot.

The Loch Ness Monster is a cryptid, reputedly a large unknown animal that inhabits Loch Ness in the

Scottish Highlands. It is similar to other supposed lake monsters in Scotland and elsewhere, though its

description varies from one account to the next. Popular interest and belief in the animal's existence has varied

since it was first brought to the world's attention in 1933. Evidence of its existence is anecdotal, with minimal and

much-disputed photographic material and sonar readings.
