Here's what I found... \n\n\n\nPhysical Features:\n\nThe main mountain system of the Scandinavian peninsula hardly deserves its name of Kjdlen' (the keel). It may rather be described as a plateau deprived of the appearance of a plateau, being on the one hand grooved by deep valleys, while on the other many salient peaks tower above its average level. Such peaks, during the later Glacial period, stood above the ice-field. Peaks and ridges were formed by the action of small glaciers cutting out each its circular hollow (botn) just as they still work on the remaining snow-fields. But where the power of the main ice-mass was at work, the characteristic rounded forms of base rock are seen, close above the sea along the coast, but even as high as 5000 ft. in some inland localities. The high plateau lies along the W. side of the peninsula, so that except in the S.E. Norway is mountainous throughout. Even the part excepted is hilly, but it partakes of the character of the long eastern or Swedish slope of the peninsula. Beyond the coast line their floors sink far below sea-level, and thus are formed the fjords and the belt of rugged islands which characterize almost the entire seaboard of Norway. Where Norway marches with Russia, a few heights exceed 3000,or even 4000 ft., but the land is not generally of great elevation. But from the point of junction with Swedish territory the mountains increase considerably in height. For a short distance, as far south as Lake Tome, the loftiest points lie within Norwegian territory, such as Jaggevarre (6283 ft.), between Lyngen and Ulfs fjords, and Kiste Fjeld (5653 ft.) farther inland. Thereafter the principal heights lie approximately along the crest-line of the plateau and within Swedish territory. Sulitelma, however (6158 ft.), lies on the frontier. Southward again the higher summits fall to Norway. S. of Boa, Svartisen (" the black ice "), a magnificent snow-field bordering the coast, and feeding many glaciers, culminates at 5246 ft. Thereafter, Okstinderne or Oxtinderne (6273 ft.), and the Store Borge Fjeld (5587 ft.) are the principal elevations as far as 64° N. A little S. of this latitude the so-called Trondhjem depression is well marked right across the central upland, the height of the mountains not often exceeding 4000 ft., while the peaked form characteristic of the heights which rose clear of the glaciers of the later Glacial period is wanting. It is from this point too that Norwegian territory broadens 1 In Norwegian the definite article (when there is no epithet) is added as a suffix to the substantive (masc. and fern. en, neuter et). Geographical terms are similarly suffixed to names, thus Suldalsvandet, the lake Suldal. The commonest geographical terms are: elm, river; vand, lake; fjeld, mountain or highland; o, island; dal, valley; noes, cape; fos, waterfall; brce, glacier; vik, vig, bay; eide, isthmus; fjord. Aa is pronounced aw. \n\nso as to include not only the highest land in the peninsula, but a considerable part of the general E. and S.E. slope. The high plateau broadens and follows the S.W. sweep of the coast. Pursuing it S. the Dovre Fjeld is marked off by the valleys of the rivers Driva and Sundal, Laagen (or Laugen) and Rauma, and the fjords of the coastland of Nordmdre. Here Sneha tta reaches a height of 7615 ft., and the Romsdal (the name under which the Rauma valley is famous among tourists) is flanked by many abrupt jagged peaks up to 6000 ft. high. The valley of the Laagen forms the upper part of Gudbrandsdal. East of this and S.E. of the Dovre is another fjeld, Rondane, in which Hdgronden rises to 6929 ft. South of the Otta valley is Jotunheim or Jdtun Fjeld, a sparsely peopled, in parts almost inaccessible, district, containing the highest mountains in Scandinavia, Galdhiipiggen reaching 8399 ft. On the seaward side of Jotunheim is Jostedalsbra, a great snow-field in which Lodalskaupen reaches a height of 6795 ft. South of Sogne Fjord (61° N.)

Try the Scottish board of tourism. You can Google them and visit their web site, for all sorts of information.\nPerhaps you can e-mail them for that sort of information.\nI'm not sure if they have that option, as I haven't been back to Scotland for many years. But no harm in asking, and I wouldn't be surprised if they did have it.

There has never been a princess of Sweden named "Cynthia Isabella."\n\nThe only information fitting the names given is a voter registry in Alabama for a Cynthia Isabella Boustani-Gustaf which would indicate the person was a Boustani before becoming a "Gustaf."\n\nSince Gustaf is surely the more Nordic of the two names, that would kind of negate your statement that she was a princess of Sweden before marrying this unknown Lebanese person.\n\n*Upon taking a look at your username, I can see where this question was headed and I have a question for you all my own:\n\nHow lame do you have to be to impersonate a fictional royal?\n\nRe: The E-mail you sent me that cannot be replied to because you have yet to confirm your E-mail address with Yahoo.\n\nI've studied Swedish history for many years and have contributor's credit in a few books published on the topic. I also helped ghostwrite, with several other collaborative authors, the biography of Princess Lillian of Sweden.\n\nThere is not now and has never been a "Princess Cynthia Isabella Gustaf Whateverelseyouaddedontoit" married to a "famous Lebanese family" or otherwise. And honestly, what kind of royal, Swedish or not, exiled or not, would move to Hooterville, Alabama or wherever it is you claim she, this unknown princess, has popped up with this husband and two sons?\n\nWhat's more, given that your username is "cigustaf" and that oh-so-coincidentally "matches" the name of this phony princess, I presume you're trolling the forum trying to either rake someone into a story you're building up to or you just want attention. Either way, it's people like you who bring down the integrity of a program such as Yahoo Answers. It, in theory, should be a haven of WORTHWHILE information but instead it's being bogged down by nonsense like yours.

I went and I loved it, almost moved there in fact.  The people are very open minded, most of the population speaks some english so you won't have too many problems communicating (it's polite to at least try to learn the basic phrases in Danish though).\n\nAs you probably already know, Denmark, like most countries in that area have White Nights from late Spring to Early Summer and a period of days of 24 hours of darkness around the Winter Solstice.  Though not as extreme as the same phenomenon in Russia (it's more like daylight to twilight back to daylight in summer, and late evening to night in winter) these fluctuations can sause sleep problems for those not used to it.  According to my friend in Denmark, the national suicide rate shows a small increase during the Winter Solstice, attibuted by many scientists to the long periods of darkness.\n\nSummers can be warm...I happened to have been there during the coldest summer on record to date where the warmest it got in August was about 70 degrees.\n\nDenmark' government works very similaryly to Britains, they have a royal family that is more a figurehead than a governing power.  The real decision making goes on in their Parliament (go to see the government area, the architecture is amazing and you can go in to see Parliament at work).\n\nFood wise, you can get a lot of the American fast food we see here, but you can also very easily get local fare.  When you walk into the refrigerated section of most grocery stores one thing you'll notice is hundreds of different varieties of canned and pickled herring...herring fishing is huge business in all of Scandinavia and the herring has been a staple of the Scandinavian diet for centuries.\n\nYou can get good caviar amazingly cheaply there (I couldn't get enough of the stuff while I was there).\n\nOne thing you'll note about Scandinavian food in general is that a great deal of it is (as my friend from Norway joked) stark white...potatoes, cream sauces, white fish, white cheeses, but its all quite tasty.  My first night in Copenhagen, we ate in an italian restaurant so go figure.\n\nAnother mainstay in Scandinavia is Aquavit...a strong anise based liqueur.  We drank it with every lunch and dinner while there and I loved it, however, when I got it home, I couldn't stand the stuff anymore...again, go figure.\n\nThe tax rate is quite high in Denmark and this is because Denmark has the kind of health care system the Clinton administration tried to enact here in the States.  In Denmark, you have health coverage from the day you're born until the day you die, whether you're employed or not, if you have an address or not.\n\nAnd speaking of not having an address, you should definitely check out Christiana...it's a "Squatters" town that is recognized by the Danish government as an "alternative community".  Basically, people who didn't want to live in the mainstream are welcome there.  you'd find a lot of artists and musicians living for the most part, in a more communal system.\n\nThe places I visited were the Rundetarn (a large ancient round tower that is still in the city)...if you go, rest up...it's a long spiraling walk up to the top for a spectacular view of the city.  The castle at Elsingore...the inspiration for Shakespeare's Hamlet.  The national museum, where you can see all kinds of viking artifacts including mummies and original items of clothing that have survived the centuries and of course, the horned helmets!\n\nWe also went to Tivoli Garden, paid a visit to Hans Christian Andersen's gravesite, and stopped at a church where we heard a gospel choir rehearsing for a competition later that year...I wound up giving an impromptu Master class.\n\nOn the education...the University in Copenhagen is, from what I've heard, an excellent institution.\n\nAt the very least it's worth visiting...I still may move there one day!
