Sumario:Culture plays a significant role in our daily lives. Consequently, this should be worked at schools, more specifically in the EFL classroom since language and culture are closely interrelated. With this in mind, this Master’s Thesis presents a didactic proposal that aims to introduce Scottish culture in schools. The proposal covers various aspects of Scottish culture: stereotypes, language, history, emblematic places of the capital, food, and festivities. Thanks to this, students will gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of Scottish culture while learning English. This will lead to a final task that consists of a recreation of the Burns Night festivity in which students will have to present a poem or story that deals with the Scottish culture they have learnt in the sessions.
