Scotland



Scotland is the more north of the four nations constituents of the United
Kingdom. Together with England and Gales, forms part of the island of United
Kingdom, ranging a third of his total surface; besides features of more of 790
islands. The Region of Scotland was an independent state until 1707, date in
which signed the Act of Union with England, to create the Region of United
Kingdom. The union did not suppose alteration of the legal system proper of
Scotland, that since has been distinct of the of Gales, England and north
Ireland.
Ignore if Scotland was habited during the Palaeolithic, since the successive
glaciations that covered his current territory have destroyed all the evidences
of human asentamients previous to the period Mesolithic. Believe that the
first groups of hunters-recolectors arrived does some 11.000 years, when the
ices of the first glaciations began to recall to the north.
The history written of Scotland begins with the Romanization of the centresouth of United Kingdom (the current Gales and England, that formed the
province of Britannia). The roman called initially Caledonia To Scotland, by
the immense forest of Caledonians pines that extended of north to south and
of this to west by all the country. The main village assented in that period in
the Scottish region was the one of the picots, Like this called, apparently, by
his habit to paint the body. The scoots, by his part, were a village of Irish
origin, also known like derides, that established in the west of Scotland.
During this period existed therefore two regions differentiates: The one of the
west of Scotland, Scotland, and the east picots region, Alba.
Thurso


Thurso (from Old Norse, meaning 'Bull's water' and called
Inbhir Theòrsa in Scottish Gaelic) is a town and former
burgh on the north coast of the Highland local government
area of Scotland. Historically, the town is one of two burghs
within the county of Caithness. Thurso's history stretches
back to at least the era of Norse Orcadian rule in Caithness,
which ended conclusively in 1266. The town was an
important Norse port, and has a later history of trade with
ports throughout northern Europe until the 19th century. In
1330 Scotland’s standard unit of weight was brought in line
with that of Thurso at the decree of King David II, a measure
of the town’s economic importance. Old St Peter's Kirk is
said to date from circa. 1220 and the time of Caithness
Bishop Gilbert Murray, who died in 1245. Much of the town
is, however, a planned 19th-century development, and a
major expansion occurred in the mid-20th century when the
Dounreay nuclear power plant was established at Dounreay,
9 miles (14.5 km) to the west of the town. Within a period of
about five years, Thurso's population expanded rapidly from
around 2,500 to about 12,000 between 1955-58, as the
nuclear plant attracted skilled migrants from all parts of the
United Kingdom, although it dropped back to around 9,000
by 1960 after a lot of the initial Dounreay construction crew
left the area.
Thurso is also the name of the viscountcy held by the
Sinclair family in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. The
present Viscount Thurso is also the local MP.
Cambridge

Cambridge Is a university city English very ancient and the
capital of the county of Cambridgeshire. Find roughly to 80

villages. His fame owes it to the University of Cambridge, the
one who includes to the Laboratories Cavendish (designated
like this in honour to Henry Cavendish), the chorus of the
chapel of King's College and the Library of the University.
These two last buildings project concerning the rest of the
city. We know of the existence of human asentaments in the
area from the period of the Roman Empire. The most
ancient and inobjetable evidence of occupation of the place,
a group of arms of hunting, corresponds at the end of the
Age of the Bronze, around the year 1000 to. Of C. There is
still more proofs that in the Age of the Iron, a German tribe
(Belgics in the text in English) assented in Castle Hill in the
century I AC. The first considerable development of the area
initiated the year 40 d.C. Castle Hill Did of Cambridge a
militarily strategic point, due to the fact that from this place
could watch the river Cam. Also was the point of crossing of
the Devana Road, that connected Colchester, in Essex, with
the barracks in Lincoln, England, and to the north. The
asentament followed being a regional centre, even 350
years after the roman occupation, around the year 400 To.C.
Still can see in the place the walls of edifications and the
roman ways.

Aberdeen from at least the 6.000 before
Christ.The first reference that have is the

the north of Scotland in the century III, in
which Aberdeen receives the name of
Devana, this is City in the Rivera of the
Deva (or Dee). Although the place will not
