Scottish History
Delve into the natural wonders of Scotland through field study
Explore the mountains and cultural past of Scotland as you learn about the history and culture of this fascinating land both inside and outside the classroom.

Your Historic Scotland offers free access to many historic sites.
The program is based in Edinburgh, which itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and you will study through the Arcadia Edinburgh Center with the full support of our staff and faculty.
