Scotland
Kilt-wearing nation's land
Scotland is a country in the northern part of Great Britain, part of the United Kingdom but with its own distinct legal system, parliament, and cultural identity.
Historically an independent kingdom, it united with England in 1707.

Scottish refers to the people, culture, and things from Scotland; Scotch typically describes whisky.
