Scotland is where ArboursAbroad really began. Jason completed his physiotherapy degree at Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen, and we spent two and a half years living and traveling by van across the Highlands, Skye, Shetland, and beyond. These aren’t tourist itineraries — they’re guides from people who called it home. → See our complete Scotland Travel Guide
It’s most likely unknown how many castles in Scotland there are or how many there were. But one thing is for certain, you’ll never be too far from one. And when traveling to the north of the United Kingdom, one cannot come without exploring some castles in Scotland. That is the epitome of seeing this…
It’s crazy what a city can bring. For the first 11 months living in Scotland, we never visited Edinburgh. We always fancied exploring the nature side of Scotland more, and still to this day would choose nature over city any chance we get, however… we were so surprised how quaint little Edinburgh can be. We…
You don’t have to be a huge golf fan to fall in love with St. Andrews. And shoot, if someone had told us that sooner, it wouldn’t have taken us over a year and a half to visit St. Andrews. It wasn’t until August of our second year living in Scotland that we made the…
While studying in Scotland, Jay was lucky enough to have a placement in the well-known town of St. Andrews. And man, this place is unreal. It can be quite touristy at times and is chock-full of students during the normal school year, however, if you visit outside of when university is in session, it can…
Only after living in Scotland for 11 months, did we make the trip down to Edinburgh, Scotland and see what all the hype was about. We aren’t huge fans of visiting cities, so in all honesty, we didn’t expect many things to do in Edinburgh, but visiting Edinburgh couldn’t have been a lovelier surprise. Scotland’s…
Throughout our two and a half years living and traveling through Scotland, we came across seven different abbeys. Most of the Scottish Abbeys from this video are from the south of Scotland, but Pluscarden Abbey is an abbey in the highlands. Whether you’re traveling in the north or the south, there’s an abbey for you!…
Fish and chips is a dish that many people associate with Britain. In fact, we’d say that you couldn’t find a town in Scotland without a chippy shop in it. They’re that popular. When we were writing about the top three fish and chip shops in Scotland, we began writing down mistakes to avoid when…
With only a short time to spend in Glasgow, Scotland, we decided to cycle around the “southern” bit of the city and explore! And to tell you the truth, visiting this bit of Glasgow only left us wanting to visit the northern bit where the university holds some amazing wonders! Join us as we take…
After finishing up school in Aberdeen, we moved to Annan in the far south of Scotland for Jason’s final clinical placement in the United Kingdom. We took a week to travel through Scotland driving from Aberdeen, across the highlands to the west coast, then down the coastline around to Annan. In this wee tour through…
Free Whisky Tours in Scotland?! Sign us up! When we heard we could tour not one, but 12 different distilleries for free in Scotland, it was a no brainer to join the Classic Malts Club! And we reckon, it’s going to be a no brainer for you to enjoy all the free whisky samples and…
