Overview of Scotland

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-20718605 Scotland is a part of the United Kingdom. Since 1999, when legislative powers were devolved to a reconstituted Scottish Parliament, it has enjoyed a high degree of autonomy. There are three distinct regions: the Highlands and Islands, a densely populated Central Belt, which includes the main cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow, and the Southern Uplands bordering England.

A Virtual Tour of the Andrew Carnegie Birthplace Museum

https://www.carnegiebirthplace.com/360-view THE HISTORY OF THE MUSEUM Our history The weaver’s cottage in which Andrew Carnegie was born on 25 November 1835 was built circa 1750. William Carnegie and his new bride, Margaret Carnegie (nee Morrison), rented one half of the cottage in 1834 from the Templeman family (William Carnegie’s uncle) during the first five years of their marriage. In 1895 Andrew Carnegie’s wife Louise Whitfield Carnegie purchased the Birthplace Cottage from William Templeman using a legacy bequeathed to her from her grandfather. After the creation of the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust in 1903, Louise asked the Trustees to look after the cottage and it was opened to the public in 1908. The visitors book, which is in the collections of the museum, records Andrew Carnegie’s first visit to the home he had known as a small boy: “FIRST VISIT TO MY BIRTHPLACE. THE HUMBLE HOME OF HONEST POVERTY. BEST HERITAGE WHEN ONE HAS A HEROINE FOR A MOTHER.” — ANDREW CARNEGIE
