Scarborough is a small town in Great Britain, in North Yorkshire county, by the North Sea. There are 50 thousand citizens in Scarborough and the town is located within the area of the North York Moors National Park. In the Middle Ages the town was famous for a fair lasting 45 days, which was an important event for merchants from whole Europe then. The traditional English ballad of Scarborough Fair is related to these fairs. The ballad was created probably by the end of the Middle Ages, and it has been performed by present day artists too (among others by Simon and Garfunkel). Today Scarborough is known above all for the annual music Beached Festival as well as for original buildings on the beaches, where colorful wooden cabins are to be found.
