Scotland

Scotland is the location of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and the village of Hogsmeade. The more remote, mountainous terrain of Scotland makes it a more likely choice of place for an institution that must be disguised to keep it invisible to Muggles, and the same considerations make Scotland the choice for hosting the Quidditch World Cup in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Professor Minerva McGonagall is one of the book's principal characters who is implicitly of Scottish background.
