Flowers of the Forest

On the brink of the First World War, Scotland was regarded throughout the British Isles as 'the workshop of the Empire'. Not only were Clyde-built ships known the world over, Scotland produced half of Britain's total production of railway equipment, and the cotton and jute industries flourished in Paisley and Dundee.

In pragul primului razboi mondial, Scotia a fost privita in toate insulele britanice drept „atelierul Imperiului”. Nu numai ca navele construite de Clyde erau cunoscute in intreaga lume, Scotia a produs jumatate din productia totala britanica de echipamente feroviare, iar industriile bumbacului si iutei au inflorit in Paisley si Dundee.
