Main Cities


Слайд 20Main Cities: Edinburgh
Edinburgh', said the writer Robert Louis Stevenson, 'is what

Paris ought to be'.
Edinburgh is a beautiful city built on very hilly ground. The old city is fascinating with its multiple street levels, walkways and closes (a close is a narrow alleyway which cuts between the main streets).



Слайд 21Main Cities: Glasgow


Слайд 22Main Cities: Aberdeen 
Aberdeen is known as the granite

city, because almost all the buildings more than thirty years old are of granite which used to be dug out of the local (Rubislaw) Quarry. Home to more than 200,000 people, Aberdeen is a busy, cosmopolitan city in the North East of Scotland. It’s the country’s third largest city. Only Glasgow and Edinburgh are bigger. In fact, a recent survey showed that Aberdeen is the most prosperous city in Britain outside of the South East of England.

Слайд 29Bagpipes 
The basic bagpipe comprised the same elements: a bag with

a chanter (on which the melody was played) and one or more drones (pipes which play a continuous note). The bag provided a sustained tone while the musician took a breath and allowed several tones to be played at once. The original Scottish pipes probably had, at the most, a single drone.

Слайд 31Highland games


Слайд 32History of Highland games
The 11th Century saw the first Games in

Scotland organized and designated as a sporting event. During the reign of King Malcom III (1058-1093), a fairly flat meadowland, the Brae O¹Mar, along the river Dee, was used for a royal contest to find the swiftest and strongest in the kingdom... fast, with the necessary stamina to carry Malcom¹s messages across the land.

Слайд 33About games
The Highland Games centre on traditional Scottish competitions in piping

and drumming, dancing, and heavy athletics. The games are a celebration of Scottish culture and heritage (particularly that of the Highlands) and include entertainment and exhibits related to other aspects of Scottish culture.


Слайд 34This event, like so many athletic events, may well have begun

as a military discipline developed to breach fortification and barriers. The modern caber toss has a much more peaceful purpose. The object of the contest is to toss the 100 to 120 pound, 18-19 foot long caber end-over-end so that it lands with the bottom, or small end pointing directly away from the contestant. The athlete with the straightest toss is the winner.

Слайд 35This event is a popular test of strength and skill. The

4’22’’ long hammer weighing 16-22 pounds is thrown for distance. The longest throw wins. If any part of the body crosses the toe board, a foul is declared and throw nullified.

Слайд 36This event is test of strength and coordination. The stone weighs

16 pounds, is 7 5/8 inches in diameter, and is thrown much like the modern day shot put. The longest throw wins. If he touches the ground in front of the foul board, try is recorded as foul and not measured for distance.

Слайд 37The 14-25 pound sheaf of hay, wrapped in burlap, is tossed

by pitchfork over a crossbar suspend by ropes between two tall upright poles. Failure to successfully toss the sheaf over the bar at least one time at any successive height eliminates the contest.

Слайд 38The 28 and 56 pound weights are thrown for distance. Three

throws with each are allowed, but only the longest counts. The longest throws win. If any part of the body crosses the tow board, a foul is declared and the throw nullified.

Слайд 39The 56 pound weight is swung between the knees and tossed

over the bar using only one hand. Three misses or touches at the same height means elimination. The highest toss wins and ties are settled by fewest misses at previous lower heights.

Auld Lang Syne.   
 
  For auld lang syne,

my dear, For auld lang syne, We'll take a cup of kindness yet, For auld lang syne!
Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to mind? Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And auld lang syne?
And there's a hand my trusty fiere, And gie's a hand o thine, And we'll take a right guid-willie waught, For auld lang syne.
