PRI's The World - Geo Quiz Podcast 300
New Scotland

Today's Geo Quiz is in search of a new world.
Here's a musical clue:

Let's away to new Scotland, where Plenty sits queen,
O'er as happy a country as ever was seen,
She blesses her subjects both little and great,
With each a good house and a pretty estate.

There's wood and there's water, there's wild fowl and tame,
In the forest good ven'son, good fish in the stream,
Good grass for our cattle, good land for our plough,
Good wheat to be reaped, and good barley to mow.
Derry down, down,
Down, derry down.

We'll sing the answer - you guess it!

The World's Geo Quiz tests your knowledge of world geography, and introduces you to fascinating people and places around the globe. The World is a US-based international news and analysis program co-produced by the BBC World Service, Public Radio International, and WGBH Boston.
