You might consider sitting down with a local by candlelight to hear stories of old about Scotland would be like a step back in time. It is no wonder, though, that this wonderful place makes us feel this way. After all, the very definition of magic, Harry Potter, was largely written and filmed in Scotland. We have some tales to tell you about how you can experience the land of witchcraft and wizardry like one of its locals\u2026 <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-dive-into-the-local-history-of-scotland-s-mysterious-tales\">Dive into the local history of Scotland\u2019s mysterious tales <\/h3>\n<p>When visiting Scotland, you should know a thing or two about its history, just as the locals do. Having an understanding about the history of Scotland makes the traveler feel more connected to the heart of the place. And hey, we\u2019re here to help you out! Here is a quick glance into what you should know about Scotland before visiting: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Loch Ness may not just be folklore. It has been reported to be seen by many locals and foreigners alike.<\/li>\n<li>St. Andrew\u2019s Day is the National Day of Scotland, celebrated on the 30th of November.<\/li>\n<li>The locally renown Great Highland bagpipe is Scotland\u2019s national instrument (the sound of it is like Scotland\u2018s own theme song!)<\/li>\n<li>The first colored photograph ever was taken in Scotland by Tartan Ribbon.<\/li>\n<li>Scottish clans are kinship groups amongst the Scots, recognized by the patterns on their kilts or their own coats of arms. The clans are also the reason why there are around 300 castles in Scotland.<\/li>\n<li>At least 40% of Scots have the red hair gene.<\/li>\n<li>Thousands of years ago, the majority of Scots spoke Gaelic. <\/li>\n<li>In the local Gaelic tongue, whisky translates to the \u201cwater of life\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Which brings us to the next point\u2026 <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/f.hubspotusercontent40.net\/hubfs\/8511594\/Imported_Blog_Media\/eilean-donan-castle-1650071_1920-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"There are around 300 castles in Scotland, something you should know when traveling like a local to Scotland.
