The exact number of people who play bagpipes in Scotland can vary, but estimates suggest there are around 10,000 to 15,000 active pipers. This includes members of pipe bands, solo players, and those who play recreationally. The tradition is strong, with many schools and organizations dedicated to teaching and promoting bagpipe music. Overall, bagpipes hold a significant cultural and musical role in Scotland.

Yes - Scotland is still part of the UK - although they have their own parliament.

Ben Nevis is the highest mountain in the UK. However its not in England, it's in Scotland. Helvellyn in the lake district is the highest point in England.

Scottish banknotes are largely similar in size to English money, and independent coins are not issued by the three money-issuing retail banks of Scotland. They are the Bank of Scotland [now part of LLoyds Group], the Royal Bank of Scotland [now with the UK government as a majority stakeholder] and the Clydesdale Bank. Interestingly, they are not legal tender in any part of the UK, and as such are not accepted in many areas of England. Pictures can be seen in the related links section. Clydesdale bank are due to release a new series of notes later in 2009. Same coinage as the rest of the UK. Scottish banks issue their own banknotes.

48.3% of Scotland's population are male, as of 2006. This is set to rise, as currently there are 104 males per 100 females under the age of 15, compared to a ratio of 94:100 for those aged 15-65. In terms of men (over the age of 15), 45.5% are male. This is partially due to the lower life expectancy for men.

That will depend on what country in the world you are sending it from. Your local post office would have current prices from your country, and websites from other countries would have prices to send a postcard to Scotland on them.

Halifax merged with Bank of Sotland to form HBos. However, they found themselves in a disastrous financial situation, owing to their exposure to bad debt. Rather than let the company fail, with catastrophic results to their mortgage holders and the economy as a whole, the Government allowed LloydsTSB to take it over (waiving competition legislation which should have prevented it).

This proved to be a false dawn, and the debts of HBoS forced LloydsTSB to seek Government bail-out as the credit crunch deepened. Technically, we as taxpayers now own a proportion of what was Halifax.

I presume this question is a joke? If not, Scotland is not an independent country, merely a region within the United Kingdom (just like England, Wales and Northern Ireland). The Queen is head of the whole of the UK and all the crown dependancies, dominions (such as Canada or Australia) and colonies (of which there are not many left)
