Whether you are coming by yourself or with the entire clan there's something for everyone, you don't even have to be Scottish! Celtic Music, crafts for the kids, heavy events championships, bagpipes, drums, author appearances, bands, Highland dancing, story telling, singing, clan information and heritage, beer tents, artisans and vendors galore! Enjoy the best of Scotland... without the airfare.  

On your first day of classes, a course outline will be distributed which includes a breakdown of what you will learn and how you will be evaluated. Readings, deadlines, midterm dates, and information about what to expect during the semester will all be included. Consider this outline a roadmap for the next 12 weeks, and keep this information hand throughout the semester.
