The population of Scotland is around 5.3 million and the population of the Republic of Ireland is about 4.6 million.

Scotland has a population of around 5.5 million - so it's smallish.

Like ghouls, giants and vampires, the loch ness monster doesn't exist - but it's good for tourism.

They are all countries. The United Kingdom collectively consists of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The Republic of Ireland is not part of the United Kingdom.

No, he was not.

There are 6 official cities in Scotland (according to the Queen). However, it is common for large towns to be referred to as cities, as most people define cities as large towns.

The 6 official cities are:

* Aberdeen * Dundee * Edinburgh * Glasgow * Inverness * Stirling

The 1936 documentary film, "The Loch Ness Monster: Proof at Last" with Lain McMillan, himself a purported witness of the monster, is worth checking out. Footage of the film was shot on the 22nd of September, 1936, by Malcolm Irvine who claims it is of Nessie. He made the sighting while he was near Inverfarigaig, opposite Urquhart Castle, a place many have reported seeing Nessie from. He recorded the creature and it is his footage which began the Loch Ness monster craze that persists until today. This documentary reel, lost for decades before being recovered, shows grainy black and white images of a dark blob moving slowly across grey water. Irvine first reported seeing Nessie in 1933, and would see it again with 2 other men in 1967. It would be worth looking up his name. Once the documentary was rediscovered the BBC aired it in 2001.

Mainly because of the potato famine around that time. This was a disease called blight which made potatos go mouldy even before they were dug out of the ground. As a result the whole crop failed and because potatos were very important food back then, the Irish were left with not much to eat and lots of people starved. When in Scotland many Irish were treated badly because Scotland was mainly a protestant country whereas the Irish were mainly catholic. Football teams such as Rangers, Hibs and Celtic were made for certain Irish only. Celtic was made as a charity to help the poor Irish immigrants living in Scotland

Roman rule brought disparate, isolated peoples into the imperial political and economic sphere. By guiding (and often forcing) these groups to produce particular goods or materials, the Romans launched Europe down a road for which it would become famous: local functional specialization. The workers on Elba, a Mediterranean island, mined iron ore. Those near Cartagena in Spain produced silver and lead. Certain farmers were taught irrigation to produce specialty crops. Others raised livestock for meat or wool. The production of particular goods by particular people in particular places became and remained a hallmark of the realm.

There is about 281 miles between Scotland and Ireland. A flight would take about an hour when flying on a commercial airliner at 500 miles per hour.

When Scotland was an independent country, it had its own King who had his own crown.

Centuries ago, an Anglo-Saxon army sneaked up upon a Scottish castle when everyone was asleep. Noticing that the moat was empty, they took their shoes off for silence and started to walk across the empty moat. Unfortunately for them, and fortunately for the Scots defending the castle, the moat had been empty long enough for huge beds of thistles to grow in it. These stung the bare feet of the invading Anglo-Saxons causing them to holler out in pain and awaken the formerly sleeping Scots. The defenders of the castle promptly massacred the invading army after that :)

Scotland is in the northern hemisphere as it is north of the Equator. Also, as Scotland is to the west of the Prime Meridian, it is also in the Western Hemisphere.

No. Shetland is part of Scotland and so is Orkney. Shetland is located to the North of Orkney in the middle of the North Sea.
