Colored illustrations including maps, sidebars, and photographs supplement the text. A pie chart shows the percentage of people living in the countryside and in the cities. Fun Fact sidebars super-imposed on some of the illustrations highlight relevant data. A sidebar, "Speak Scottish Gaelic!," shows the meaning and pronunciation of Scottish Gaelic words. The pages of Fast Facts about Scotland give an overview of this country that covers the northern part of Great Britain. A glossary defines important terms in the text. "To Learn More" provides books and web sources for further research. The index allows easy navigation through the text. This book is part of a series entitled, "Blastoff Readers: Exploring Countries."
