Scotland is AMAZING
Today was incredible. Besides me hardly getting any sleep as this Palace (Yes the Dalkeith House is an 18th century palace) is an icebox, I had so much fun today. I had my first class and I have to say I was entirely interested the whole time, despite the ...

First Few Days Abroad
