The Native called "Picts" is mean "painted men" because they painted their bodies. Hadrian wall was built in the time of the Emperor Hadrian. It is the Romans retreated to the south they built a stone wall with forts every mile as a defence against. The Scot Kenneth Mac Alpine was the first real king of Scotland. Scottish armies were defeated by Cromwell and Scotland, and it became part of the Commonwealth. Treaty of Union was signed where by Scotland became United England. Among the effects of this were the notorious "clearances" where by the people of the High lands were evicted from their homes by wealthy landowners and forced to live in extreme poverty.

The Lock Ness Monster called "Nessie" is one of the famous places. There is the Highland in Scotland and there is the Lowland in Southern and Eastern Scotland. The Clyde is Southern Scotland's river. It is located although in recent years the oil industry has expanded in Aberdeen to process North sea oil.

The Clans in Scotland has means children or family. The Massacre of Glencoe is one of the most famous episodes in the  history of clan feuds. Tartan is seen today as a symbol of the clan. It looks like check clothes. The other symbol of Scotland is rather more asthenic.

"Aud Lang Syne" is a Scots poem written by Robert Burns in 1788. It is well known in many countries, especially in the English-speaking world. The song's Scots title may be translated into English literally as "old long since", or more idiomatically, "long long ago", "days gone by" or "old times".

Robert Burns was a Scottish poet and lyricist. He is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland and is celebrated worldwide. He is the best known of the poets who have written in the Scots language, although much of his writing is also in English and a light Scots dialect, accessible to an audience beyond Scotland. He also wrote in standard English, and in these his political or civil commentary is often at its bluntest.

In today's class, most interested is Wales had been invaded many times. At first, Wales was invaded by Romans in AD 43 and when Romans left Britain in 410, Wales was subject to invasion from the Irish in the west and the Anglo-Saxons in the east. Edward 1 decided to invade Wales in order to eliminate a potential threat to his kingdom.

When I heard about Wales' history, I thought why Romans, Irish, Anglo-Saxons, and Edward 1 invaded Wales and why they didn't invaded except Wales. I have taken British circumstances, I'm most interested in Wales' history. I think I want to research it.

I could know about British in this class, so I take British history in this year because I want to know more about British.
