Today, we went to the town of St. Andrews. It was a lot of fun! We started out with a hearty breakfast bright and early at 7:30 a.m., before getting onto the coach bus to start our journey down to the coast.
Throughout the bus ride, we enjoyed the company of our fellow students and advisors, regaled by our tour guides describing the rich history and beauty of our surroundings, from local preschools to historic bridges. Scotland has some real interesting history! Some buses even had the privilege of jamming to music from Scottish artists, such as the Proclaimers.
Upon our arrival at St. Andrews, we first split into groups and visited Trinity Church, hearing about the history of John Knox and the Protestant Reformation in Scotland. We were also introduced to a cute cat named Hamish McHamish, who was world famous and beloved by the residents during his 17 year lifetime. A familiar sight in St. Andrews, he was always around shops and houses throughout the town. He even has a book written about him! 🙂
