不列颠岛的北国远居欧洲边缘的苏格兰,是一个三面环海的地方:西面和北面是大西洋,东面是北海。她惟一的陆地边界就是沿切维厄特丘陵的长约96公里的南方边界。从地理的角度看,苏格兰可以分为3个特征迥异的部分:南部的丘陵,中部的低地,北部的高地和岛屿。南部的丘陵地带交错有肥沃的平原和与英格兰交界的众多小山丘。这一地区的最高峰只有海拔815米。中部的低地东起福斯河入海口(爱丁堡附近),西至克莱德 The northern British island of Scotland, on the edge of Europe, is a place surrounded by seas on three sides: the Atlantic Ocean to the north and the North Sea to the east. Her only land border is the southern border about 96 km long along the Cheviot Hills. From a geographical point of view, Scotland can be divided into three distinct parts: the southern hills, the central lowlands, the northern highlands and islands. Southern hills crisscross the fertile plains and the many hills that border England. The highest peak in the area is only 815 meters above sea level. The lowland east of the central reaches the mouth of the Fox River (near Edinburgh) and Clyde to the west
