Month: April 2023

Back in November, my parents came to visit me in Scotland. We spent some time in Edinburgh and they visited St Andrews for a day.  The real highlight, however,  of this visit was going to the Scottish Highlands. We went on a day trip that took us up and around various parts of the Highlands. Our first stop was a farm to see the beautiful hairy cows that are a staple of Scotland.

We saw picturesque landscapes and villages like Glencoe which is pictured below.

We even went up to Loch Ness. I won’t reveal whether or not we spotted the Loch Ness monster… you’ll have to go and see for yourself.

Seeing my parents and showing them Scotland was so special to me. I hadn’t been up to the Highlands before this so it was awesome to all experience that together.  Although it was months ago, I still think about this trip and week with my parents often and wanted to share it with the blog!

 

Classes are quickly coming to an end here in St Andrews and Spring is making an appearance. The days have been warmer and the sun out for much longer. The nicer days means spending more time by the ocean, one of my favorite places in St Andrews. On one of the first nice days, I spent my time in between classes sitting on a bench over-looking the ocean and ruins.

As the days get longer and warmer, my time abroad get shorter. I am trying to take it all in and make the most of my last month here. The warmer weather and the beauty of St Andrews will definitely make it more difficult to leave!
