Not only was Edinburgh one of the historical centres of the Enlightenment, it has also been at the forefront of many of the world’s medical developments. Today, the city is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site and with one visit to this beautiful city you will understand why it attracts countless scores of visitors every year. During your stay, you will have a guided walking tour along with a visit to the historic Edinburgh Castle, which has been residence to many members of Royalty, including Mary Queen of Scots. We will be staying in a central hostel with breakfast provided, and the trip will include train travel to and from London/Edinburgh. Please note this event leaves on a Friday afternoon so it is your responsibility to check for academic clashes.
