Scotland

Scotland. The place where thousands of nature-loving people are drawn to, just to breathe in the intoxicatingly clean Scottish air and to feel the heartbeats of the Highlands. It is an ancient and magical place, where beauty isn’t a description, but a fact. From the Highlands to the lochs and lakes brimming with crystal clear, icy cold water, the country seems to have a never-ending abundance of nature reserves, parks and woods. But what is it that makes the Scottish nature so special and loved? How does the nature affect the native Scottish people and the tourists? And also, how do they affect the Scottish nature, will it look the same for the future generations?
To answer the first question, we have contacted a specialist on the subject. It’s (?....?), who has been doing research on the matter for almost half a decade:

If you have ever had the privilege of visiting Scotland, you will know just what an incredible wealth of natural treasures it possesses. The fine scenery is inspiring to live in and visit, and the imagery of an unspoilt landscape is important in the marketing of Scottish brands selling products such as whiskey. The nature is also important in the marketing of tourism, in fact some cities across the Scottish landscape rely almost entirely on the tourists coming there to experience the wildlife. One of those cities is Oban. Oban is a town known for its tasty whiskey; the city is actually built around the Oban Whiskey Distillery. Nowadays, the city functions as a springboard for tourists to popular sites like Glencoe - and to the Islands. In a city like that it would be perfect to ask the citizens about their opinion on some of our topics:

So the knowledge we have gained from these interviews, is mainly, that the Scottish people are very proud of their country. You get the impression, that the nature means something special to them. But what about a city like Edinburgh. It’s a city of diversity, and with famous attractions and great shopping possibilities, people travel there from all over the world. Like Oban, there are also opportunities to experience the nature. But when people live in a large city like that, how often do they enjoy the nature? Let’s find out:
“…”
During the Fringe festival in Edinburgh, the tourism in Edinburgh increases almost to the double, so it would be stupid not to ask them too:
“…”
Again, the Scottish people are very proud of their country, and seem to love the nature. The tourists appreciate the nature, but as they are only visiting for a short time, it seems to us, that they do not really care that much if the unspoilt nature weren’t there. In fact, many citizens in Edinburgh and other cities across Scotland, meant, when we asked them, that they had a feeling, the tourists aren’t respecting the nature as much as they should.
