ISC STIRLING TRIP 30/10/10

Hi everyone!!

Another awesome ISC trip is coming up =)

Tickets are going to be £7 and will be sold on Monday, 25^th October at 6pm in the ISC (22b Buccleuch street).

On Saturday, 30^th October we will go to Stirling. Apart from being a lovely town with many opportunities for shopping and eating, Stirling also played an important part in Scottish history. It was called the key to Scotland because every one had to pass through if they wanted to go to the Highlands.

Come with us and visit the castle of Robert the Bruce and enjoy the view over the fields William Wallace fought on. There are many more things to see including the Church of the Holy Rude, the Old Town Jail, the Toolboth and the Smith Art Gallery and Museum. Furthermore, on the way back, you will have the opportunity to visit the Wallace Monument.

We will meet at 9:00 am on Saturday at the ISC. Looking forward to see you there!

PLEASE BRING...

NOTICE TO ALL THOSE GOING TO ABERFELDY on 23/10/10

If you are planning to buy anything containing alcohol at the distillery, you must be 18yrs or older. Please bring proof of age with you (I.D card)!!! Spread the word to those who are joining us on the trip!

ISC FRENCH NIGHT 25/10/10

Tickets for this event will go on sale on Wednesday 20th at the ISC (22b Buccleuch street) from 18.00 -19.00, at £3.00 each.

Croissants, Eiffel tower, Amelie. What do these three have in common? Why, they’re French of course! Come on down to the ISC’s French Night on Monday 25^th October at 8p.m. and immerse in French culture. Pick up a few French words while taking a small trip down to l’Hexagone with us. Of course, French gastronomy (a.k.a. FOOD! (: ) will be on offer in the form of wine, cheese, bread, croissants, pain au chocolat, and many other mouth-watering delicacies.

At the same time, we will explore other French-speaking regions of the world, such as Quebec, and contemplate the differences with continental France. To wrap up this evening of gourmet eating and drinking, we will enjoy a screening of the film “Amelie”.

Hope to see you there!

ISC Weekend Trip (6-7 Nov)

Have you wondered whether Nessie (a.k.a. the Loch Ness monster) exists? Have you wanted to find out how high Ben Nevis really is? Curious to explore the wild and rough Highlands of Northern Scotland but not quite sure how? Then this is a trip for you!

Right after Guy Fawkes’ night, the ISC will embark on a two-day trip (6^th and 7^th November) to the luscious green fields and valleys known as the Highlands. Scenery in northern Scotland ranges from snow-capped mountains to emerald green meadows, perhaps with a few Highland cows dotted here and there. Yet this trip will not focus only on Scotland’s wild and natural beauty, but also cater for the interests of history-lovers. The latter is provided by professional guides who will accompany us throughout the trip with visits to places such as Culloden battlefield and regale us with tales of Rob Roy, William Wallace and many other fascinating heroes and villains of Scottish history.

After the first day’s sightseeing, we shall make camp (not literally…) in Inverness, also known as the capital of the Highlands. However, despite the exhaustion we will no doubt be feeling, the occasion calls for celebration of Scotland and general Scottish pride. A party is not a party in Scotland until the ceilidh band have begun to sing. And that is just what they will do. With a professional ceilidh band and a first class venue at Thistle Hotel, we will dance the night (and the calories) away!

Please see the click-able map below for the itinerary of this two-day journey:

Tickets will be sold on Tuesday 19^th at the ISC from 18.30 at the price of £80.00 per person. Only one ticket is allowed per person, and only 100 tickets will be sold. Please bring cash only and bear in mind that a matriculation card is required for purchase.

The ticket price encompasses costs for entertainment, accommodation, transport, guides, the ceilidh band, dinner prepared by volunteers and a continental breakfast in the morning. As we will be travelling during the two days, lunches will need to be purchased separately at the stops and sites chosen.

Hope to see you there!
