More information about the video content bellow:
1. Scotland was an independent country up till the 15th century. The country merged to form the Great Britain when the King of Scotland was given the throne of England in 1603.
2. Princes Street Gardens is now a popular spot for relaxing on a sunny day, but it was once a body of water known as the ‘Nor Loch’ or North Loch. This Loch was heavily polluted with sewage and is thought to be the location of around 300 witch trials, with women suspected of being witches thrown into the waters. If they floated, they were witches and were executed - if they drowned, they were innocent but had no kinder fate.
3. The most dramatic experiment of the 21st century happened in Scotland. The first successfully cloned lifeform, Dolly the sheep, was created in a lab in the University of Edinburgh. It was a very powerful and watershed moment in our understanding of the life on earth.
4. The Encyclopedia Britannica, which is the Wikipedia of the past, originated in Scotland. It was the idea of an Edinburgh bookseller, Colin Macfarquhar.
5. Scotland has many untouched and pristine islands. Built even before the Stonehenge or the Pyramids, Skara Brae, in the Orkney islands is known as “Scottish Pompeii”, for its extraordinary preservation of a medieval entire city. The other jewel from the medieval world is the Knap of Howar, which is oldest preserved stone house in northern Europe.
6. Some call it ear-torture and some sway and dance to its rhythm. Scotland’s national instrument is the Great Highland bagpipe, which forms the heart and soul of Scottish culture.
7. The next cultural masterpiece of Scotland is the Scottish kilt, which is a knee-long single piece skirt-type garment.

Thank you!
Can I just add a minor correction to your description? You said Dolly was an experiment of the 21st century. The 1990s were in the 20th century.

Scottish people don’t wear kilts, and none of us play the fucking bagpipe
Where did I say that? I said it's part of the Scottish culture and then I explained why.
Some play the Bagpipes and we do wear Kilts however they are usually reserved for for special occasions or events such as weddings.
