The document discusses various topics related to landscapes including: 1) Different types of landscapes in Britain and how they can be used as settings for stories in geography and literacy lessons. 2) How landscapes are socially constructed and can be represented in art, maps, and photographs to visualize their scale and impact. 3) How tourism marketing represents landscapes to attract visitors and the relationship between landscapes, culture, and national identity.

33. “You can’t escape the grandeur and beauty of
Scotland. It’s so wild and rough. You don’t find
anywhere else on earth that has mountains like
that. All the lochs and the trenches are so rugged
it evokes the mysteries and legends that have
come out of Scottish culture. The grey, cool mist
mixes in with the russet mountains. The variation
of landscape and ecosystems makes everything
feel very touchable, everything has texture”.
Mark Andrews, Director
