But really,it's the weather that's the point of note.The UK has some of the most interesting weather in the world.
"Britain does not have a CLIMATE.It just has WEATHER
In hot countries most of the indoor places that need to be comfortable are air-conditioned,and in cold countries most of the places that need to be comfortable are properly heated.The UK is the exception,since the weather is often interesting and no one really takes heat and cold seriously.So although the weather can be very cold,very hot,very wet,or just wildly confused,it always takes people by surprise.
When it gets to winter and there is actually some SNOW,it always takes the people by surprise.It is frontpage news,and even a few inches of snow brings the country to a standstill.But then,what happens next is even more surprising and catches the folk off guard completely.And who could possibly have predicted it?!IT MELTS! Flooding!What a surprise!
Then in the summer,it gets very hot.If it had been Thailand or Australia,there'd be no problem.It is supposed to be hot,so,there is air conditioning.But in the UK,just total confusion at the sudden hot weather.Shock,health problems,and despite the fact that the country is considered to be where it always rains,summertime brings drought! But do people have cisterns（水箱）and reserve water tanks?Wouldn’t it make sense for people to store rainwater in case of drought?Of course it would,but it is a dependency-culture where people have been trained to be dependent on the state,which then means that in emergency people are stuck!Why is the British weather so strange?It is something to do with the combination of an almost Arctic latitude（纬度）combined with being an island and having the Gulf Stream bringing warm weather from the tropics.
Helpful people in the know on geographical meteorology（气象学）have commented that the general situation with the UK weather is even more complex,as many different things contribute to the changeable weather.As well as the North Atlantic drift,there is the fact that the UK is affected by the following major air masses: the tropical maritime（海的）Gulf Stream,the Polar Maritime air from the North,the Arctic Maritime,the Polar Continental,and the Tropical Continental.There's also fast flowing air in Jet streams.Air goes around in convection currents in Hadley cells and in Ferrel Cells.Because the British Isles can get weather coming from hot or cold zones,and from land or sea,a changeable hot/cold wet/dry weather is found.

In order to see and discover the true soul of Scotland today and what formed the character of this splendid region, we have to go towards the northern regions, to the Grampian Mountains（格兰扁山区）, beautiful and plain. The Scots conquered the environment with simple spades and strong arms, for it was difficult to farm.
The history of this ancient struggle, and its people’s ancient love with the hard land, can be felt 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.
From coastal Aberdeen in towards the Grampian Mountains there runs the Castle Trail, a road that touches on many fortresses（堡垒）, which are witnesses of continual fights against the control of neighboring England in Scottish history.
Perhaps the most exciting moment for Scottish autonomy is
This is Glamis Castle, where King Macbeth and Queen Elizabeth used to live. Among the most frequent guests here are the predictable ghosts, if not actually created, by ancient popular beliefs. These have been handed down over the centuries by people tending to live with mystery, with the forces of the supernatural.
Another attraction here is a legendary monster: the Loch Ness Monster. Whether it’s real or imaginary, this monster, which has been nicknamed Nessie, has collected a good 3,000 sightings over the last 50 years.
The true flag of Scotland, tartan, is recognizable from the brightly colored plaid patterns which are used to distinguish the various social groups.
Bagpipes and dancing open the competitions of local sporting events, which are called Highland Gatherings.
