Frozen area
<p>The Flow Country estate in the Scottish Highlands is considered the finest example of a continuous accumulation of covered peat bogs. This peat ecosystem has accumulated over the past 9,000 years, providing a diverse habitat for many bird species and a richness that is unique in the world. Peatlands play a vital role in carbon storage. The ecological processes that continue to form peat in the area continue to store large amounts of carbon and are of great research and educational value. </p>

Old and New Towns of Edinburgh
Edinburgh has been the capital of Scotland since the 15th century.

These two historic and contrasting quarters coexist harmoniously, each with many important buildings, and it is these two quarters that give the city its unique character.
