It could be argued that Scotland's national character has been shaped, more than any other factor, by our climate. In a land where nature can be as pitiless as it can be beautiful, the Scots are a hard-working people who, by and large, possess an intellectual rigour.
This is often manifested by a healthy scepticism or a tenacious questioning of things which leads, in turn, to a precision of thinking, speaking and action.
It’s one of the reasons that medicine, law, finance and engineering have traditionally been such strong disciplines in Scotland - and why technology and science thrive in Scotland today. Sometimes these characteristics are summed up by the word ‘canny' (meaning shrewd), but shrewdness is only part of this intellectual profile.
Education has also contributed enormously to our national character.
A good education is very highly prized in Scotland, and the emphasis of our educational system has for centuries been to produce a "lad o' pairts" - using a wide curriculum, stressing breadth as well as depth of knowledge. This approach promotes equality of opportunity, not equality itself - and fits very well with the Scots sense of social justice.
School attendance has been compulsory since 1496 (almost 400 years longer than in England).
As a result, Scotland today excels in the fields of biotechnology, astrophysics, micro- and optoelectronics and artificial intelligence, alongside its traditional strengths. And, as the country that gave the world television, the telephone, the fax, the photocopier, the first 3D computer game and Dolly the Sheep, Scotland continues to make an outstanding contribution to the world at large.
