Scots are known for giving a warm welcome to visitors, making it a safe place. The locals are friendly people who like to blether (Scottish word for talk), which is great for practicing English as you go in everyday situations, as well as learning in the classroom.
It’s easy to get here with 4 international airports close to our member schools and only around an hour flight from London. There are also good train and road networks.
2016 is Scotland’s year of innovation architecture & design. 2017 will be the year of history, heritage and archaeology. A great time to come and celebrate Scotland’s modern environment and historic past.
Each part of the UK has its own local accent, such as the London’s Cockney or Newcastle’s Geordie. Scottish people also speak in many wonderful accents, but they are no harder to understand than an accent from anywhere else in the UK. In fact, the Perthshire accent is often said to be the clearest in the whole country.
Average temperature is 5C in winter and 15C in summer. Because Scotland is further north than the rest of the UK, we have longer hours of daylight in summer, so more time to get out and enjoy our beautiful country.
