“To discover new parts of the world, you need

to have the courage to lose sight of the old shores"

(André Gide)

Great Britain is a country with a rich historical and cultural heritage, old traditions and hospitable people. A country where even today the people love their monarch, a country where the traditions of their ancestors are carefully honored, a country with magnificent landscapes, as if descended from the pages of ancient fairy tales and legends ...culture. First, the British Isles were the kingdoms of the Celts, Saxons and Vikings. In 843, the Kingdom of Scotland arises, in 927 - the Kingdom of England, in 1283 - the Principality of Wales. In 1536, the first merger takes place: the Principality of Wales joins the Kingdom of England. In 1541, the Kingdom of Ireland arises.

In 1707 - the second merger: the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland are united to form the Kingdom of Great Britain.


On January 1.1801, as a result of the union with Ireland, Great Britain was transformed into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. In 1922, there is a split into two independent states: the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and the free state of Ireland (later - the Republic of Ireland).

Wales - the quiet charm of the Celtic land

We begin our acquaintance with the island and the country of Great Britain from the Principality of Wales, which is one of the most beautiful natural corners of Great Britain. Celtic fortresses and conquests, traditions and crafts - this is where you can feel the unique flavor and charm of the country.

The inhabitants of Wales speak a complex Welsh (also Welsh or Cymric) language - the heritage of the Celts, like to sing and quote poems, like their great-grandfathers, hold Celtic festivals and holidays.

To this day, amazing silver and gold jewelry is made here, wool products are sewn, and souvenirs are made from wood, stone and coal. For the most part, Wales is a quiet farmland, while farmers are very fond of guests and are happy to offer guests blood and a rich breakfast. The nature of Wales is striking in its beauty and diversity: here you can admire green hills and clean sandy shores, fast rivers, sparkling waterfalls and mysterious lakes, grandiose gorges and majestic peaks of mountain ranges. The amazing architecture of the majestic medieval castles, which are more per square kilometer here than anywhere else in the world, complements this splendor.

By right, one of the most impressive is Conwy Castle - a medieval castle located in the city-county of Conwy, built in 1283-1289.

by order of the English king Edward I.

The castle was abandoned for a long time and was slowly being destroyed. The ancient medieval walls, accessories and interior decoration of the halls are preserved here. For four years, working from March to October, 1.500 people erected the fortress and walls.


Konva Castle is surrounded by a stone wall with 8 round towers and loopholes. It is divided into two courtyards - inner and outer - and each of them is surrounded by thick walls with 4 towers at the corners. The towers are multi-storey, their height is about 70 feet (20 m), diameter - 30 feet (about 10 m), wall thickness - 15 feet (about 4 m). The courtyard is divided into 2 parts by a large transverse wall. In one of the parts there was a hall for receptions.

From the height of the walls of Conwy Castle, a beautiful view of the town of Conwy, the bay of the same name and the green hills of Wales, as well as the bridge, opens up.

Bodysgallen Hall rises next to the castle, built in the 13th century as a temporary tower of the Konva castle to monitor the movement of the enemy from the north side, since only the walls of the castle have survived to this day, but even in this form they look quite impressive. Along with the castles of Harlech, Beaumaris and Caernarvon, Conwy is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The city of Conwy is also famous for the smallest residential building in the UK.

Little Wales, whose territory is 2.779 km? , and a population of no more than 3 million people, is famous not only for the abundance of medieval castles, which are more per square kilometer here than anywhere else in the world, but also for the settlement with the longest name in the world, in which 58 letters.

It's called: llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysilio, but it sounds like this: Llanfairpullgwingillgogeryhverndrobulllantysileggo? x (this is in Welsh).

Translated from the Welsh language, it sounds like "The Church of St. Mary in the hollow of the white hazel near the stormy whirlpool and the church of St. Tisilio near the red cave. " We tried to repeat it in the same breath. - the city is constantly full of tourists who take pictures of this:

We are heading to Holyhead (Eng. Holyhead, Val. Caergybi - “fortification of St. Kibi”) - a Welsh garden on a small island of Holy Island, lying to the west of the island of Angles and separated from the latter by a narrow strait. It is the starting point for a ferry service that connects the UK with the Irish ports of Dublin and Dun Laar. We throw a farewell glance at Wales, with which we are so sorry to part.

Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland


Scotland is not only castles, bagpipes and thistles. This is the harsh beauty of the bright northern sky, the unique aroma of clean air, the splendor of the picturesque mountains and moorlands.

The nature here is striking in its splendor, and the climate is even more changeable than in England. History has nurtured in the people of Scotland an irreconcilable spirit of freedom, confidence and courage, and although today Scotland is not at war with England, they are still independent and proud. In September 2014, a referendum is due to be held to decide whether Scotland, with a population of 5.3 million, will remain part of the United Kingdom or gain full independence.

By far the most popular Scottish attractions are castles.

Scottish castles are scattered across the highlands, some are privately owned, others are owned by the state, others have become hotels where you can spend an unforgettable night.

Scottish cities are also interesting and picturesque.

We begin our acquaintance with Glasgow (translated from the Celtic "expensive green place") - the largest garden in Scotland, located on the River Clyde in the western part of the country. The garden is really quite expensive and all buried in greenery. It has a very distinctive architectural appearance, combining Gothic, Italian Renaissance, Gregorian and Victorian styles. Glasgow is considered the center of the arts in Scotland and the site of numerous festivals. According to legend, the city was founded in the VI century by Saint Mungo, who built a small wooden church there. This saint is still honored in Glasgow as the patron saint of the city.

In the early Middle Ages, Glasgow was the religious center of Scotland with its own bishopric. A garden with artisans and merchants quickly grew around the main temple.


Therefore, it is not surprising that we begin our acquaintance with the garden from the Cathedral, which was built by order of King David I and consecrated in 1136. The cathedral was named after the patron saint of the city of Glasgow and Scotland, Saint Mungo, as his tomb is located here. In the 15th century, the cathedral was enlarged and reconstructed. During the Reformation, most of the temples in Scotland were destroyed, but, fortunately, Glasgow Cathedral survived. In 1560, by decision of the Scottish Parliament, the country adopted Protestantism instead of Catholicism.

On the lampposts are the signs of the city, which are depicted on the coat of arms granted to the city by the Lord Lyon (head of the heraldic service of Scotland) on October 25.1866.

and which were formerly used on the official seals of Glasgow.

They are directly related to the life of St. Mungo, illustrating four miracles attributed to the patron saint of the city: the first miracle is the resurrection of a robin after Mungo's fellow students killed the favorite bird of their mentor St. Cerf and accused the future saint of her death; the second miracle, although not related to the oak depicted on the coat of arms, occurred when the fire was lost in the church of Culross, and Saint Mungo miraculously lit a hazel branch; the third miracle is the bell, which, according to legend, was a gift to the saint from the Pope. The story of the fourth miracle is connected with the legend of Queen Langeoreth: when her husband, King Ridderach, suspected his wife of infidelity, he learned that the queen had given her beloved knight a golden ring, stole the gift and threw it into the waves of the Clyde. He then demanded that Langeoreta bring the ring.

However, Saint Mungo, her lover's confessor, found out about their connection with confessions and suggested to the knight how to fulfill the king's order. At the instigation of Saint Mungo, he caught a salmon in the river with a ring in its mouth, and thus saved the honor of the queen. The symbols located on the lanterns represent these four wonders:

This is a bird that has never flown

This tree that did not grow

It's a call that didn't ring

This is a fish that did not swim.


After the union of England and Scotland in 1603, Glasgow began to expand and prosper, as it became the most convenient port for merchant ships from America. In 1611, James I granted Glasgow the status of a royal city, which meant the direct subordination of the city to the Crown. In November 1638, a general assembly met in Glasgow Cathedral to oppose the policies of King Charles I.

As a result, armed conflicts took place in Scotland, which did not affect the city due to its insignificant political status. In 1650, shortly after the defeat of the Scots at the Battle of Dunbar, Oliver Cromwell stopped in Glasgow. 1989 was an ordeal for the city. By decision of the then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, all coal mines in the country were closed, and most of them were just near Glasgow. People left the garden, unemployment and chaos reigned in the city. Only in the mid-90s Glasgow began to rise again from its knees, becoming the business center of Scotland. Today it is home to 630 thousand people.

The city of Glasgow, without exaggeration, is called "the symbol of all English architecture. " Once, many years ago, it was a major port and industrial center, considered the second largest city in the United Kingdom. Old Glasgow is still majestic and has its own characteristic style.

We pass by the Gallery of Modern Art, in front of which stands, perhaps, the most famous monument in Glasgow, which has become a symbol of modern art as such. This is a statue of the poor Baron Wellington, erected by Carlo Marochetti in 1844. In the 1980s, someone put a traffic cone on Wellington's head as a hooligan prank. The authorities took it away, but they tightened it again, and the authorities took it away again. This went on for many years, until the authorities relented and attached a traffic cone to the head of the duke on a permanent basis.

The most visited museum in Scotland is the Kelvingrove Museum. It is located in a very beautiful building with two beautiful entrances. At the main entrance to the museum, we are met by a pretty flower sculpture.

The rich collection of the Kelvingrove Museum has paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens, Titian, Van Gogh, Monet, Picasso, Dali. The basis of the museum's collection is the Burrell collection, numbering 9.000 exhibits.


These are the works of the masters of ancient China, Egypt, Greece and Rome, objects of medieval and Islamic art, tapestries and expenses. There is a Macintosh Hall here, because Glasgow is proud of its majestic architecture, which is dominated by the Macintosh style. It is characterized by softened dots and oblong lines, unusually high elements.

We were lucky - we got to the museum at a time when the maestro was playing the organ, so the tour took place under the majestic sounds.

In terms of the number of city parks, Glasgow ranks only first among other cities in England. Glasgow is one of the greenest cities in Europe, with more than 70 parks in the city, the most famous being East End Green Park, West End Kelvingrow Park, Queen's Park and Pollock Country Park.

Noteworthy are the Clyde Arch Bridge, the Glasgow Science Center and the Glasgow Tower.

A very interesting collection is presented to the attention of visitors by the Museum of the University of Glasgow. One of its halls is dedicated to ancient coins; the collection will interest not only numismatists, but also all curious travelers. Given the specifics of the cultural institution, it was decided to dedicate one of its halls to the brightest inventions of Scottish scientists. This is only a part of the sightseeing objects that travelers can visit.

Fans of transportation technology will be interested to see the collection of the Riverside Transportation Museum, located on the territory of an old shipyard in an industrial area, between the city and the mouth of the Clyde River. This museum, which opened its doors on June 21.2011, was recognized as the best museum in Europe in 2013.

Trying to make the most of the location of the coastal museum, the architects of Zaha Hadid's studio - representatives of deconstructivism - tried to imagine the building "floating out" from the river. The futuristic structure of the museum significantly transformed and adorned the city embankment.


The first paddle steamers and cars built in Glasgow, ships and yachts, bicycles and prams, trams and locomotives, old mechanisms, retro cars and other rare exhibits of emerging technological progress in more than 3.000 museum exhibits. museum exhibition space, mainly in the form of models. The non-standard design of the museum's interior in yellow and green colors is consistent with the non-trivial way of displaying the industrial achievements and rich engineering traditions of Glasgow.

In addition to live demonstrations, there are impressive installations and vibrant interactive tutorials, as well as authentic recreations of the historical interiors of Glasgow's café , pub and store during its heyday at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries in closed galleries. A part of the exhibition is occupied by a detailed prototype of one of the central city streets.

This beautiful museum also has an interesting display of maritime transport, presented both by mock-ups in the walls of the museum and by the real old schooner "Tall Ship", moored at the south facade of Riverside, built in the old docks of the full-flowing river Clyde. Due to the "broken" line of the angular roof, similar to the outline of the roofs of the old part of Glasgow, Riverside is sometimes compared to a floating iceberg. In the museum, you can not only view the exhibits from the outside, but also study them inside, sit, steer, and on a sailboat - and clean the deck for everyone.

On May 24.2002, Queen Elizabeth II opened the Falkirk Wheel as part of her golden jubilee celebrations. In 2003, the building was named Best Original Design.

To get acquainted with the principle of operation of this structure, we, having paid 9 pounds Art. , we load into a pleasure boat and go on a small cruise, and the captain explains to us the principle of its operation.

The elevation difference between the Fort Clyde and Union Canals is 24 meters. However, the Union Canal is 11 meters higher than the aqueduct that brings ships to the lift, so boats must pass through two locks to get down from this canal to the aqueduct. The aqueduct was not placed higher due to the intersection with the historically important Antonin Wall. Part of the aqueduct, 150 meters long, runs underground through an elliptical tunnel.


The diameter of the ship lift is 35 meters, the structure itself consists of a central axis 100 meters long and two architectural elements spaced apart, resembling a Celtic double ax in their outlines. During operation, the wheel moves ships between channels, raising and lowering two containers filled with water, each with a carrying capacity of 300 tons. The tanks are balanced, according to the law of Archimedes, by displacing water by a vessel sailing onto the platform. The wheel rotates on its axis by 180°. Having risen up, we swim through the upper channel to the entrance to the tunnel, where ships from Edinburgh are sailing. In the same way we go on the way back, but now with the help of the wheel we go down. Horse heads meet us near the center. This is "Kelpie" - a huge art installation by Andy Scott, consisting of two giant sculptures in the form of horse heads.

30-meter busts of horses from a metal frame covered with sheet steel, weighing 330 tons, each was named after the mythological water spirits that live in Scottish rivers and mountain lakes. In mythology, Kelps are werewolves, who most often appear in the form of a horse grazing near the water. According to legend, they turned their backs to a lone traveler and then dragged him into the water. To create the work, the horses of the Clydesdale breed served as models for the master. Mounted over the Fort Clyde Canal in Falkirk, the Kelps provided the basis for Helix Park, which opened in the summer of 2014. They act not only as a national pride, but also represent a testament to the achievements of the past, a hymn to artisans and engineers, and also serve as a declaration of the future of Scotland.

Edinburgh is the capital of Scotland

Edinburgh is a majestic ancient city in Scotland, the capital and second largest city in Scotland with a population of almost half a million people. The city is located in a picturesque place on the east coast, on the shores of the Firth of Forth. Capital of Scotland since 1437. The name of the city comes from the Breton name of the fortress Din Eidyn, i. e. the fortress of Eidin, which was located on the lands of the ancient British kingdom of Gododin.

We begin our acquaintance with Edinburgh from Calton Hill - one of the hills in the center of Edinburgh, east of the New City. Walking up this hill is an adventure. Firstly, this is a wonderful observation deck, which offers wonderful views of the garden and the Firth of Forth, which is the mouth of the Forth River and belongs to the North Sea. Its name originally meant "black river".

Fifth, on the hill is the city observatory, which was built in 1776 by James Craig. The main task of astronomers was to determine the exact time by the movement of stars. The observatory was closed quite recently - in 2009.


Opposite Calton Hill are the Salisbury Rocks. It is very easy for the inhabitants of Edinburgh to get out into nature - just walk to the end of the Royal Mile, and these beautiful green rocks will stand right in front of you, including Arthur's Chair - the highest peak (about 250 meters). The hill was officially incorporated into the city of Edinburgh in 1859. Once there was a prison and a place of execution, then the building of the Scottish government, St. Andrews House, was built on the site of the prison. At the foot is the official residence of the British monarchs - Holyrood Palace or Holyrood House, famous for the fact that Mary Stuart lived in it for most of her life.

The museum located here has an excellent collection of antique furniture, jewelry and portraits of Scottish kings. There are many legends around the foundation of the abbey and the construction of the castle in this place, but the true reason remains hidden. Holyrood means "House of the Holy Cross" in the local language.

Royal Mile connecting Holyrood with the legendary Edinburgh Castle - the heart of the city. The castle rock, on which this delightful miracle proudly rises above the garden, is an extinct volcano. Since ancient times, it has been chosen by man, people have always settled here. The castle, considered the symbol of the city, became the main stronghold of Scotland, it was even called the key to the country. From three sides the castle is protected by impregnable cliffs. It was possible to get close to the castle only along a steep, completely shelled road from the fourth side.

Not surprisingly, few dared to take Edinburgh by storm.

Robert Burns described this impregnable castle as follows:

“There, at the height, above the gray haze,

Like a grey-haired veteran

Shimmering castle over the rock

In deep scars of ancient wounds:

Although the powerful walls were trembling

Repeatedly from a long time ago

They often reflect

Former invaders - pressure.

According to historical evidence, the castle has existed since the 11th century, but the first buildings on this site appeared almost 1400 years ago. From the 11th to the 16th century, the castle was the seat of the Scottish monarchy. Since then, the strategic importance of the castle has fallen greatly and today it welcomes mainly parade military units. Nowadays, the esplanade has turned into a kind of stadium. The stands were installed for the needs of the Royal Parade of Military Bands, which takes place annually in Edinburgh in August. It is considered to be the best parade of its kind in the world.

Above the gates of the castle is the Scottish coat of arms - a red, rising lion on a golden field.


Edinburgh Castle is a must-see place (even despite the high ticket price of £.16) for both history buffs and those interested in military affairs, as well as those who prefer to see the famous Scottish castles or simply admire the beautiful views of the city from high . fortress walls.

Many guns were installed along the perimeter of the fortress, their purpose was to protect the castle. But among them, on the Mills Mount battery, there is a "Time Cannon", which every day, except Sunday, Good Friday and Christmas, tells the exact time, firing at exactly the time of day. Simultaneously with the shot, a layer falls on the Nelson monument. In the 19th century, the cannon was synchronized with the times of the tower with the help of an electric cable more than 1200 meters long.

At one time it was the longest cable in the world.

The exposition of the latter presents some exhibits discovered during the reconstruction of the cellars, where there was a prison for prisoners of war, including items made by prisoners. The facts of prison life prescribed by law are interesting. The daily ration of the prisoner consisted of 2 pints (1.1 l) of beer, 1.5 pounds (680 g) of bread, 0.75 pounds (340 g) of beef, 0.5 pounds (280 g) of peas every other day, 0.25 pounds (115 g) of butter and 6 oz. (170 g) cheese instead of beef on Saturdays. Each prisoner was given clothes and 6d a day, but French POWs received more from their government. The prisoners were regularly visited by a doctor, and there was a hospital for the sick. Prisoners imprisoned in cellars slept on bunks and in hammocks. Each inmate was given a mattress filled with straw and a blanket to keep him warm.

And we are waiting for a walk along the main street of Edinburgh, which is called the "Royal Mile", one of the main attractions of the city, which begins its history in the XII century. In its place, the king ordered the construction of High Street, which was formerly known as the "Royal Way". about 200 m (about 1.8 km in total).

The Royal Mile consists of four successive streets (from west to east): Castlehill, Lawnmarket, High Street and Canongate, and they gradually descend. Like a fish ridge, small streets and dead ends diverge from these streets, which are also attributed to Mile.


Above the cathedral rises a 15th-century tower, reconstructed in the 19th century.

Inside the cathedral, the beautiful Chapel of the Thistle, with a ribbed vaulted ceiling and carved heraldic symbols, which was built in honor of the knights belonging to the noblest and most ancient Order of the Thistle, deserves special attention.

Next to the cathedral is Mercat Cross, a place where official royal decrees were read. The monument was erected in 1885 on the basis of the XIV century.

Here Lonmarket turns into a longer High Street - the site of the city's major festivals, here you can see a lot of street musicians, mimes and other artists.

The corner house is interesting because there is a tavern "Master Brody". This Brod owned the house in the 18th century and led a double life: during the day as a law-abiding merchant, at night as a banal robber.

In the end, he was hanged safely, but this story impressed Stevenson so much that he brought this hero into his creation, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

On the Royal Mile, you can visit various museums and see unusual bridges crossing the street, the majestic building of the city meeting, numerous monuments and old houses. On the last street of the Royal Mile - Canongate - there is the Edinburgh Folk History Museum, Canongate Church, Holyrood Palace and a masterpiece of modern architecture - the Scottish Parliament building.

The Royal Mile and the Old Town are noteworthy for their narrow lanes, which bear a very capacious common name close (which can be translated as "gorge"). You can use them to go to the neighboring streets.

From here you can turn into Princess Park, which divides the city into two parts: Old and New Edinburgh.


Another attraction of the city is located in this park - the Scott Monument - a neo-Gothic monument dedicated to the Scottish writer Walter Scott. The monument is decorated with 64 sculptures, most of which are the heroes of Scott's works. In the center of the monument is a statue of the writer. The monument was built from Binni sandstone, quarried since the late 18th century in West Lothian. A feature of this sandstone is the content of shale oil in it, which attracts dust and soot from the atmosphere to the surface of the stone. Perhaps the choice of building material fell on Binney due to this feature of his, with the help of which the Gothic monument quickly acquired a characteristic natural patina. The total height of the monument is 61.11 m. The Scott Monument has several viewing platforms that offer views of the center of Edinburgh and its outlying areas.

The highest platform can be reached by climbing 287 degrees (if desired, a certificate of climbing to the top is issued).

In the 17th century, as a result of the expansion of the city's borders, the New City was built, and the rich strata of the population began to move into spacious houses. The new city is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Edinburgh offers its guests such an extensive program of excursions and activities that it is very difficult to decide what to see in this wonderful city. At the beginning of the Royal Mile, the building of the National Gallery of Scotland, built in 1853, attracts attention. Here is a magnificent collection of art objects, the best works of world artists and sculptors.

Nearby you can see the watch tower - it houses a museum with optical illusions and we decided to go there, having bought an entrance ticket for 10.95 pounds sterling.

The main element of the museum's exposition is the Camera Obscura itself located at the top - ​ ​ one of the few surviving specimens of such a 19th-century structure. On four floors of the tower, a rich exposition under the collective name "World of Illusions" is presented, dedicated to various optical and color illusions and the technique of their creation. Separate expositions are devoted to the history of Edinburgh in old photographs and the history of the museum in particular. The museum is quite interesting, where you can see the old city from the observation decks of the tower with the help of binoculars and telescopes.

Another symbol of Edinburgh is Greyfriars Bobby, a small dog of the Skye Terrier breed. This dog lived in the 19th century and was distinguished by its unique devotion to its owner. The dog was only 2 years old when his owner died.


includes the northern third of the island of Great Britain and the adjacent islands: the Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland. In total, there are 787 islands in Scotland, many of which are inhabited. Its castles and mountainous scenery have earned it the reputation of being the most colorful area in the UK. Here is the highest point in the UK - Mount Ben Nevis, as well as the legendary Loch Ness, in the waters of which the prehistoric monster Nessie allegedly lives.

The length of the border from the Solway Firth in the west to the River Tweed in the east is about 96 km. The west coast of Scotland is washed by the Atlantic Ocean, the east by the North Sea. The border between England and Scotland, officially established back in 1237, today looks very arbitrary.

But long before the emergence of England and Scotland, the Romans marked the border between them, having built in the 2nd century a 120-kilometer wall called Hadrian's Wall, which crossed England from east to west and protected the southern provinces from the attacks of aggressive northern tribes. Today it is a poorly preserved UNESCO heritage, lost in fields and meadows.

The Scots (self-name - Albans) - one of the Celtic peoples inhabiting the United Kingdom. The ancestors of the Scots were Irish settlers (Gaels), who settled in the northern part of the island of Britain, populated
