An American in Scotland


My name is Jada, I’m an American, and I’m going to Scotland for six months. I’ll be studying at the University of Glasgow and hopefully living like any 20 year old Scottish college student would. But of course I’ll be American, not Scottish, and the culture shock is sure to be insane. So I’ve decided to document my insanity, starting from about a month and a half before I hop the pond until I return. I hope to share photos and snippets from my daily life with y’all. So this is going to be, starting around January first, a travel/photo/journal blog-contraption. Until then its most likely to be pre-planning blog which will focus on preparing to study abroad for six month and planning travel to several other country’s in Europe as well. Enjoy.

These are part of the gardens at Holyrood Palace, the Queens official residence in Scotland. Every summer she has a garden party of up to 8,000 people and is escorted through the crowds by the Royal Company of Archers, which are known as the Queens Bodyguard For Scotland. During the summer they are allowed to practice shooting in the garden.
