Scotland is located in northern United Kingdom and has Edinburgh as its capital city. It has a monarchical government and uses the British pound sterling as currency. Some traditional Scottish dishes include haggis, a sausage made with lamb, oats and spices, as well as Cullen skink, a soup made with smoked fish, potatoes and onions. Highland Games celebrate Scottish and Celtic culture through traditional sports, food, dancing and crafts from May to September. Up Helly Aa in late February marks the end of the Christmas season with torchlight parades and a replica Viking longship.
