Arcadia Scotland

While the current temperatures and snowfall may be daunting, the 1st of March hopefully signals that spring will soon be on its way!  We are approaching the home stretch of classes, the days are getting longer and the temperatures should follow soon!

There are tons of events, exhibitions and concerts taking place around Scotland this month, and we've compiled a few suggestions to help you take a break from your studies and experience even more of Scotland.  We hope to see you at some of our events and/or around town!
