School trip to Perth

Surrounded by pure nature

Perth is a small and traditional Scottish city. It is surrounded by wildly romantic landscapes like the Highlands with their mystical foggy lochs and picturesque, dreamy valleys. Edinburgh, with its vibrant shops and diverse culture, is within easy reach. One can trace the footsteps of the legendary Scottish folk hero William Wallace, known as Braveheart. And a visit to one of the traditional whiskey distilleries is a must.

We recommend a course trip to Scotland. Any teacher familiar with London and Southern England should plan a school trip to Scotland. The Scots speak a strong dialect that you quickly get used to. A study trip to Stirling, Edinburgh or Perth is recommended for students 9 years and older.
