Adventures Online: A Look at Ancient & Modern Edinburgh

The five-day course on Edinburgh was very thorough and entertaining. All presenters knew their subject and purpose well.

After this on-line trip, I definately would like to actually visit Scotland.

The Road Scholar website is easy to use and completely friendly to users.

A look at ancient and modern Edinburgh. There is more to know about Edinburgh than The Royal Mile. This Road Scholar on line program is an exciting travel tour through Scottish history, politics, theatre, arts, literature, and crafts.

My trip to Edinburgh Scotland online this week was a covid-19 lifesaver. This Road Scholar Zoom online class completely wetted my appetite to get to Scotland and Edinburgh in real time when travel is more conducive to actually sitting next to another person in a bar and sampling Scotch. The experts spoke to us in a very personal manner about arts and literature and politics and history were top drawer. In my extracurricular reading about Scotland I keep noticing that I know an amazing amount as a result of my five days visit online.

Very informative and interesting program and a great introduction to both Scotland and Edinburgh

The opportunity to travel to places unknown, even if only virtually, saved the day (or year+) during this pandemic. I spent days combing through the library and online bookstores for the suggested reading, maps, and videos. I learned so much. Now I hope to actually go to these places and I know I'll enjoy them so much more with all of this shared knowledge and experience under my belt. Thank you!

This was the next best thing to actually getting to visit Edinburgh. Well organized, personably presented, covered a myriad of topics, but without feeling rushed. The presenter and instructors were gracious and hospitable. I love the RS virtual trips and this is one of the best!

I would highly recommend the "A Look At Ancient & Modern Edinburgh" program. It provides a great look at Edinburgh and its history. The program left me with a strong wish to see Edinburgh in person.

This was an excellent, well paced program providing overview of Ancient and modern Edinburgh. The program solidified my desire to physically travel to Scotland and Edinburgh when possible.

This program was great. I was in a Edinburgh about 40 years ago. As a result of this program, I can’t wait to visit Edinburgh and Scotland in person. Would highly recommend taking this program. I often forgot I wasn’t there in person. That is how engaging the material and presentations were.

Online courses are a great way to explore places you would like to visit once travel is safe.
