Short post… we travel to Scotland today! Never have I felt so simultaneously over- and under-prepared for anything! The next few posts will be short-form impressions of the trip as it happens. I hope readers will enjoy our progress and discoveries.

Post-script

Well, I had no idea that “herding the cats” — that is, leading 15 students in a school group — would leave me with so little time and energy by the end of the day that I would have no coherence left with which to write! I did, however, keep many images and notes. While the trip is still lucid, I will construct posts that reconstruct the events. It’s likely that I’ll be creating a few discrete posts: a couple for our experience in Dundee, one recounting the huge day we had in Aberdeenshire, and a couple that chronicles our time in Edinburgh.
