Around Britain

Britain (excluding Ireland) consists of 3 countries; England, Wales and Scotland. We live in Wales which is to the west. Scotland is to the north.
The northern half of Scotland has its own language, scots Gaelic. Wales has its own language too, Welsh or Cymraig. Everybody speaks english as well. The welsh and scots are celts. They are descendants of the people who originally lived in the islands before the romans invaded. In that way they are like the Berber people who are descended from the people who lived in Morocco before the Romans and the Arabs invaded.
The map shows the boundaries between the countries by dark lines. We live in northeast wales near the border. The two nearest large towns are Wrexham which is in Wales and Chester which is in England. We are about in the middle.
