Hi, I'm Neve and I live in Scotland. Our famous landmark is Wallace Monument. The fact is that it is based on Scottish Guardian Sir Willam Wallace. If you live in Scotland this place will suit you. Bye, Scotland out!

Hi! I'm Veronica, and I'm ten years old. Yes; there is a famous landmark in my country. I live in England (United Kingdom) so our famous landmark is Big Ben! It is a very tall. And is exactly 96.3 meters and weighs 13.8 stones! It was designed by Billy MacGibbon, and built by Jaymes Nanos. Yes, many people visit it. I'm not sure what they do there, but sometimes there is something like an 'Open Day' and Big Ben is open and you can come in. Mostly, there is some kind of a tour for tourists and that's when the 'Open Day' is on.
