Edinburgh, Scotland is a fantastic city. It's filled with history - from Edinburgh Castle down the mile to the Palace of Holyroodhouse. Edinburgh is extremely easy to navigate and explore.

In addition to the fantastic experience you'll have, there are also three excursions included in the program. This allows you to learn more about Edinburgh, Scotland and the surrounding region.
This ancient castle, which rises high over the streets of Edinburgh, is a reminder of the city’s powerful past and violent history. As one of the mightiest military strongholds in Scotland, the castle has seen many battles and sieges, perhaps most notably during the Scottish Wars for Independence.
Take a journey into the ancient tradition of Scottish whiskey brewing with a visit to the famous. Glenkinchie Distillery. Located in Pencaitland, you’ll tour the operations and taste scotch straight from the barrel. This is truly the flavor of the country.
In this city that has been home to so many influential writers and thinkers, it should come as no surprise that there is a plethora of pubs, inns and hideaways where these aforementioned scribes went for “inspiration”. Join a guided tour through some of the most prominent, and enjoy a pint or two.

How was Toby, your coordinator while in Edinburgh?
Toby was fantastic! He has a vast amount of knowledge about the city, and is so considerate and helpful. He responds quickly and plans fantastic excursions that teach so much about the culture and history of Scotland.
What was your favorite excursion?
All of the excursions were incredible, but my favorite was probably going up north, because on the way Toby also stopped at Linlithgow Palace and Blackwell Castle, which were incredible as well. Because I had mentioned an interest in architecture, Toby adjusted our tour plans to show me more examples of Scottish architecture. He shared these exceptional buildings with me that aren't very popular tourist spots and that I probably would never have known about if not for him.
Would you recommend the program to another student?
Yes, absolutely. This programs shows you what it means to be a working adult in a different culture, which includes different a work environment as well as giving you the chance to explore the city at your own leisure. The apartment is wonderful, both in location and in the flat itself, there's a great support system if you should need anything, and the work experience is fantastic!
