Britain is not just one country and one people, even if some of its inhabitants think so.Britain is, in fact, a nation which can be divided into several separate parts, each pant being an individual country with its own language, character and cultural traditions.Thus Scotland , Northern Ireland, Wales (and even Cornwall perhaps) do not claim to belong to"English", They are Sottish,Irish, Welsh (or Cornish) and many of them prefer to speak their own native tongue which in tum is incomprehensible to the others.These cultural minorities have been Britain's original inhabitants.In varying degrees they have managed to preserve their national identity, their particular customs and way of life.This isprobably even more true of the remoter areas where traditional life has not been so affected by the growth of industrialism as the border areas have been.The Celtic races are said to be more emotional by nature than the English.An Irish temper is legendary! The Scots would rather forgetabout their reputation for, excessive thrift and prefer to be remembered for their ballads and dances, while the Welsh are famous for their singing.The Celtic temperament as a whole produces numerous :writers and artists, such as the Irish Bernard Shaw, the Scottish Robert Bums, and the Welsh Dylan Thomas, to mention but a few.
