Scotland

Scotland is a country that is part of the United Kingdom and covers the northern third of the island of Great Britain. It shares a border with England to the south, and is otherwise surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, with the North Sea to the east and the North Channel and Irish Sea to the south-west. In addition to the mainland, the country is made up of more than 790 islands, including the Northern Isles and the Hebrides. Scotland's legal system has remained separate from those of England and Wales and Northern Ireland, and Scotland constitutes a distinct jurisdiction in public and private law.

Links To Peel
Peel would often visit Scotland during his roadshow, especially Glasgow and Edinburgh and has hosted some of his BBC Radio One shows from there. Many Scottish artists recorded sessions for Peel, including Lulu, who was chosen to satisfy BBC management who weren't happy that the show was not broadcasting mainstream artists. On Sounds Of The Suburbs, broadcast in 1999, Peel visited Lanarkshire in southern Scotland to interview artists including Sean Dickson of the Soup Dragons and High Fidelity, also on the same programme he tasted a deep fried Mars bar, a dish originated from a chip shop in Scotland, and thought it was not too bad. During the programme, Peel made pilgrimage to his hero's birthplace, Bill Shankly, a former miner and manager of Liverpool Football Club.
