| GREAT BRITAIN |
|
| England remains one of the most popular destinations in the world for international travel. The country may no longer be the world's foremost imperial power, but it continues to capture the imagination of millions. The British royal family is revered world-wide, the top football teams have more fans in other continents than they do at home and the capital city London remains one of the leading international centres of commerce and culture. |
|
| Scotland conjures up a wealth of powerful images - shimmering lochs and mountains shrouded in mist, vast purple swathes of heather, weather-beaten cliffs and broad, sandy coves. The landscape is dotted with dramatic fairy-tale castles, ruined abbeys, fascinating historic cities and picturesque villages. |
|
| Great Britain's currency is the Pound Sterling. Great Britain is four and half hours behind India in summer and five and half hours behind in winter. Needless to say, English is spoken everywhere and in a rich array of dialects and accents, including London's very unique Cockney. |
