11 Free Scottish Coloring Pages for Kids

Scotland coloring pages have been a great way for us to explore the country’s landmarks, animals, and traditions while adding a creative break to our learning.

We first used these during a UK geography unit, and my son especially loved the Loch Ness Monster and kilt pages.

This printable set includes 11 pages that highlight key symbols of Scottish culture, from the flag and national flower to Edinburgh Castle and Highland cattle.

Whether you’re prepping for St. Andrew’s Day or just want a fun way to introduce Scotland, these coloring sheets work well for both classroom and home use.

Scottish Coloring Pages

This printable set covers a little bit of everything, geography, history, folklore, and national symbols, all in a format that’s easy for kids to engage with. It’s a mix of well-known icons like the flag and Nessie, plus a few details that might be new to them.

Here’s what’s included:

Map of Scotland. It has an area of 30.4k miles and is the 2nd largest country in Great Britain. It has over 900 islands that are grouped into the Shetland, Orkney, the Inner Hebrides, and the Outer Hebrides.

The Scottish flag coloring page is known as the saltire cross. It has a white saltire on a blue background. This is the oldest flag in Europe.

The purple thistle is the national emblem of Scotland.

Edinburgh Castle is a historic castle. It stands on castle rock, which has been occupied by humans since at least the Iron Age.

The bagpipes are Scotland’s national instrument and a large part of Scottish culture.

The kilt is a knee-length pleated skirt usually of tartan worn by men in Scotland and by Scottish regiments in the British armies.

The Shetland pony is a breed of pony that originates in the Shetland Isles of North Scotland. It has a heavy coat and short legs.

The highland cattle originate in the Scottish Highlands and the Outer Hebrides. They have long horns and a long shaggy coat.

Haggis, Scotland’s national dish, is often served during celebrations like Burns Night. It always gets a reaction from kids when we talk about what’s in it!

The Scottish population is approximately 5.51 million. For reference, there are approximately 56 million people in England.

The Loch Ness monster, affectionately known as Nessie, is a creature in Scottish folklore that is said to inhabit Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands.

Books About Scotland for Kids

If you want to go a little deeper after coloring, these books have been great conversation starters in our house:

Edinburgh Castle for Kids: Fun Facts and Amazing Activities. We read this one alongside the castle coloring page, and it really helped bring the history to life. The mix of facts and little activities made it feel more interactive, especially for kids who like to get hands-on.

Good Night Scotland. This has been a sweet bedtime read, gentle and calming, but still packed with places and traditions. It’s a lovely way to wrap up the day while introducing Scotland’s landscapes and culture in a really approachable way.

Scottish Year: Twelve Months in the Life of Scotland’s Kids. We enjoyed flipping through this one month by month. It gave a nice glimpse into how daily life and celebrations in Scotland change with the seasons. Great for helping kids see what it might be like to grow up there.
