Hello my dear Steemians and Art Fans,

 

Thank you @steemitblog and @steemcurator01 for organizing such regular challenges and this interesting topic today that I believe will bring up many submissions.

I think throughout our lives predominantly in our childhood we have moments we wish to be a president of the country where we live.

Here in Scotland the First Minister is Nicola Sturgeon, her background is lawyer and I also have done her portrait with soft pastel that I wanted to present you.

“First Minister” of Scotland for a day

 

Once again in the past I thought Scotland is a separate country but later on I found that it is a part of UK and already for many centuries it is trying to be independent and be a country itself with its own rules and regulations and not depend on Westminster.

Therefore let’s imagine that everything is possible.

Due to current situation of Brexit, Scotland is going to be taken out of EU but there are many historical reason why Scotland wants to remain in EU and be part of European countries that would be my main two goals for a day:

 

 

• 1 . Scotland to return to European Union, because there are historical connection between European countries and Scotland:

 

There is a long history and connection between Europe and Scotland, actually starting from Picts that is ancient Celtic folk that lived in Western Scotland and was known well by Roman Empire.

After 13th of October 1307 or “Black Friday” the Templar escaped from France and found shelter in Scotland and that was also in “The Da Vinci code” by Dan Brown

Up in North Scotland there is very close connection with Norway many have ancestors from Norway too.

• 2 . Scotland to join Nordic Council: is the official body for formal inter-parliamentary co-operation among the Nordic countries: Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden as well as from the autonomous areas of the Faroe Islands, Greenland, and the Åland Islands.

 

All the countries have a historical connection and this is Vikings the ancestors of all Nordic nations. To open an open trade with those countries, free movement for people to enable them to live, study and work would that would make Scotland attractive for tourists and could bring more business and economical growth.

That definitely would be the most successful day in the whole Scottish history who knows that may can come true :)
