30 Insane Facts About Scotland That You Never Knew

Scotland looks small on a map. It is not small in any other way. This country sits on rocks that are 3 billion years old. It has a loch deeper than Loch Ness that almost nobody knows about. It holds one third of all grey seals alive on Earth. Its highest mountain can kill you in summer. And somewhere in its northern forests, fewer than 300 wild cats are hanging on by a thread. In this video, we count down 30 geography facts about Scotland — the kind your textbooks never told you. From the world's largest blanket bog to the orca pod with no future. From the island that is more water than land to the rock that shattered the biblical age of the Earth. Every fact in this video is real, and most of them will surprise you.
