Scotland History
Scotland's written history starts with the arrival of the Roman Empire in central Great Britain. Hadrian's Wall was built to control tribes on both sides of the wall. This wall later became the main northern border for the Romans through most of the later occupation of Britain. After the Industrial Revolution and the Scottish Enlightenment, Scotland became one of the commercial and industrial powers of Europe. Following the Second World War Scotland experienced an industrial decline that only recently has seen a renaissance.
Scotland Religion
Scotland also has a very large Roman Catholic population, particularly in the west. The largest non-Christian religion is Islam and there are also large Hindu, Jewish and Sikh populations, particularly in Glasgow.
