Geography Quiz

Taking a leaf out of James Highams book, here is a Sunday Kwiz. Only one question, don't want to make it too challenging

1. A constituent country of the United Kingdom comprising the northern part of the island of Great Britain as well as the Hebrides, Shetland Islands, and Orkney Islands. Inhabited by Picts in prehistoric times, the region was invaded but never conquered by the Romans and split into a variety of small kingdoms after the fifth century A.D. In the ninth century most of this countrywas unified into one kingdom, but conflicts with the English to the south soon erupted, leading to a series of bloody wars. When Mary Queen of Scots's son James VI succeeded to the English throne in 1603, the two kingdoms were united. It became a part of the kingdom of Great Britain by a parliamentary act of 1707. Edinburgh is the capital and Glasgow the largest city. Population: 5,090,000.

They have really crap weather, greasy food, drink too much, have some of the worst health statistics in the world, talk funny, drink too much, have a really crap cricket team and their football team were recently Unofficial World Football Champions.

The prize is a years supply of haggis, which for for most people, will not be too much.

Place your answers in a glass bottle and throw them in the ocean. A winner will be announced if I receive any entries.
