My Time In St. Andrews

St. Andrews is easily one of the most beautiful places Iv'e ever visited. The rich history of the city and the blue ocean waters with seagulls flying above my head, really gave this place such a magical feeling. It made me never want to leave.

We did a lot of sight seeing here, such as the St. Andrews castle, cathedral, shopping downtown, a ghost tour walk, and being on the beach. There was not enough time in the world to do everything enough. One of my favorite things was the tower of the St. Andrews cathedral. The breathtaking views of the city and ocean easily make it worth the tight walk up those tower stairs. It's something I would strongly suggest to everyone, even if you do get claustrophobia, such as myself. It was definitely worth it.

The amazing view from the tower.

St Andrews: Incredible.


 
 
 

My First Day in Glasgow

by Kaitlin Brothers

The first day in Glasgow was a tough one. Everyone had jet lag, being six hours ahead! But besides that, it was incredible.I really loved the style and architecture of the buildings. It kind of reminded me of Hogwarts, witch I love! They are absolutely stunning.

​

The next thing I noticed was the people. Everyone is very nice here, even strangers on the street. One example is when we were at a tea shop, and I had a bought coffee I didn't like, the waitress asked me about it and offered me free tea! I have been blown away by the kindness of strangers here. It makes the UK feel very homey. It makes me want to live here! 

​

A couple things we did were walking through parks, the Botanical Gardens, the Kelvin Bridge Museum, and ate dinner at Coopers. These places were absolutely beautiful, especially the Botanical Gardens, a place filled with huge plants of all variety. I really loved the history and art of the museum as well, and we even got to hear an organ-playing show! I feel like i'm sucking in a lot of culture!

​

Day one of Glasgow: perfect.

My Day in Stirling

by Kaitlin Brothers

Today in Stirling was, to me, my favorite thing about this UK trip so far. The experiences today were mind blowing. The incredible views, the rich history of the castle, the William Wallace monument, seeing the architecture of the castle, and walking in downtown Stirling. 

​

My absolute favorite thing was the view over the William Wallace Monument. The beautiful green all across the land looks amazing with the hillsides behind it, and the lush river flowing through it. I could not believe my eyes. It was truly an incredible adventure I hope to go on again someday.
