How to Study Abroad in Scotland
Scotland is as colorful as a tartan kilt; with every region offering something different for study abroad students, you can choose from a modern metropolis, regal architecture, or starkly beautiful landscapes for your study abroad experience.
Edinburgh is the cradle of Scotland’s history, and beautiful to boot. Edinburgh’s tall, elegant buildings meld seamlessly into the rocky cliffs above the North Sea. The centerpiece of the city is the stunning medieval castle, which keeps watch over the town laid out below it. Don’t let the olden-day appearance put you off though; Scotland’s capital is a lively city, and allegedly has more pubs and restaurants per capita than any other UK city. It is also a great jumping-off point for trips to the Highlands, where you can photograph stunning mountainous landscapes, historic castles, and Loch Ness, or jaunts to some of the Scottish islands, such as the Isle of Skye.
Feisty Glasgow might not be as beautiful as Edinburgh, but it is an innovative, modern city which still retains its traditional roots. Scotland’s best live music scene takes places in earthy pubs, alongside stylish bars and world-class restaurants. The city’s industrial heritage mixes a little grit with the handsome Victorian buildings that Glasgow is famous for, making a city that is both sophisticated and down-to-earth, qualities that make it a fantastic second home for international students.
Those familiar with the story of William Wallace, a hero during the Wars of Scottish Independence (you might know him better as the character Mel Gibson plays in Braveheart) should visit the monument to this “Guardian of Scotland” in Stirling. It is the site of the Battle of Stirling Bridge, where Wallace helped to defeat the English army. Wander through the ages as you explore the fantastically preserved Old Town, and the cobbled streets that wind up to the ramparts of the brooding Stirling Castle.
