Capital - Edinburgh. National Animal - Unicorn (The Truth) Population - 5.454 million. The national flag of Scotland is the Saltire. It's made up of a great white cross which spans diagonally across the flag a blue background.

Kelp
Scientists found a type of kelp which was 16,000 years old.
A Team from Heriot-Watt University think the type of seaweed survived since the last Ice Age.
Scientists will now investigate of why it survived for that long, especially they were focusing ioon how marine plants survive extreme changes in climate.
They found it off the coast of Scotland, Ireland and Brittany (France)
One of the marine Ecologists said " Kelp plays a critical role in the Atlantic so it's important to understand what affects its distribution and survival over-time and how sensitive it is to change".
There are 30 different types of kelp, and the one they found is called Oar-weed.
