“Memories” Courtney Gibson University of Stirling, United Kingdom Major: English

emory One: This is a terrible attempt at a panorama picture, and it does absolutely no M justice to the beauty that is in the Highlands of Scotland. This is on the Isle of Skye. Myself and 8 other friends did a 3 day trip to the Scottish High- lands, fearing terrible wet and cold weather we toughed it out and it turned out to be one of the best experiences of the trip here. We had an incredible tour guide who gave us endless history about Scotland while driving us through some of the most amazing scenery I have ever seen. Though it wasn’t as clear as a lot of us had hoped, it was such an amazing sight. I cannot possibly sum up the beauty of this experience from a solitary picture. My friends and I had all come to the conclusion (as many of my Scottish relatives say as well) that Scotland is such a beautiful place, it’s a shame it has a lot of nasty weather otherwise it would be a prime destination for Scenic view taken at Isle of Skye, Scotland tourists. Regardless of the wind, rain, and snow it is defi- nitely worth seeing. (continue on page 3)
