Experiencing Scotland
感受蘇格蘭
Scotland is a unique and austere place, laden with history, where you can find aristocratic palaces and castles, as well as the traditional parades in national costumes. It has some of the most beautiful cities in Europe, a living testimony of a proud and splendid past.
蘇格蘭是一個獨特的地方,自然條件雖不得天獨厚,歷史的厚重感卻隨處可見。你不僅能看見無數豪門望族的府第與城堡,還可以觀看人們穿著民族服裝舉行傳統巡游。這里有全歐洲最美的城市,訴說著蘇格蘭昔日的榮光。
In order to see and discover the true soul of Scotland today, what forged the character of this splendid region, we have to go towards the northern regions, to the Grampian Mountains. Beautiful and unspoiled, it was difficult to farm. The Scots subdued the environment with simple spades and strong arms.
想看看真正的蘇格蘭,追尋這里民族精神的源泉,就得去北部的格蘭扁山區。格蘭扁山區景色怡人,還沒有受到現代文明的污染。格蘭扁過去并不適合耕作,倔強的蘇格蘭人憑著雙手征服了這片土地。
The history of this ancient struggle, and its people's ancient love affair with the hard land, is enclosed within the walls of the Angus Folk Museum. You are able to get a feel of the typical rural atmosphere of times past from the everyday artifacts displayed here.
蘇格蘭先民的艱苦勞作與他們自古對這片貧瘠土地的眷戀,在安格斯民俗博物館里一覽無余。這里展出的都是史前的日常物品,你能從中體味到典型的舊日鄉間氛圍。
From coastal Aberdeen in towards the interior of the Grampian Mountains there runs the Castle Trail, a road that touches on many fortresses, which are witnesses of continual revolts against the dominion of neighboring England in Scottish history.
一條古堡之路從沿海的阿伯丁一直蜿蜒到格蘭扁山區深處。沿途的眾多要塞見證了英格蘭不斷反抗英格蘭統治的歷史。
