A few years ago I was on a camping holiday in Bristol. There were lots of other girls from around the UK, but I was the only one fromScotland.The camp _was located_in the woods, not far from the river.The camp life was even more interesting than I had expected. We enjoyed all kinds of camping activities – sports and games, different shows and contests.Everything was fine apart from one incident that took me aback.Once, at lunchtime, when I was eating ice cream, one of the girls asked:“So, do you have ice cream in Scotland?”I did not know_how to react. My neighbour repeated her question.I nodded, “Yes.My answer provoked a wave of absurd questions about my country:“Have you ever seen a ghost in your castle?”“Do all Scottish men wear checked skirts?”I _found_out that some people believe silly stereotypes about Scotland.They believe that Scots really carry bagpipes in _their___bags to play the instrument on the streets, and that Scots practise magic.At last, the girls said that they__would come___ to Scotland one day to see it with their own eyes and to separate the truth from the myths.
