In 1707, this northern nation and England joined together to form the Kingdom of Great Britain. The Highlands have spectacular landscapes with many castles. The region is known for the Loch Ness Monster, a creature said to live in Loch Ness. The bagpipe is a big symbol of the area. The movie Braveheart is not directly based on real events, but it has become a part of local culture.
