Links with Scotland

This is the location by which the Duke of Gordon gets his honorific title, as the Duke of Aubigny. Aubigny is a common tourist destination for Scots and others from the United Kingdom. It is a city very attached to the Auld Alliance, due to its French-Scottish history for 400 years, and also the only one in France that still celebrates the French-Scottish friendship, each year during the Bastille Day.
