Scotland is truly an extraordinary place, one that has captured my heart in every way. The landscape is filled with rivers, lakes, castles, and natural beauty so unique that it feels as if each view is a gift waiting to be discovered. Whenever I have the chance, I rent a house for the weekend, even for just two days. The moment I arrive, surrounded by breathtaking scenery, I feel my energy returning, as if the weight of everyday life melts away. There’s something about studying in such a setting that brings a sense of clarity and renewal.
Not only does it boost my concentration, but it also significantly improves my mental well-being. The natural surroundings seem to heal me from within, helping me manage the stress that comes with academic life. I can feel my mind becoming clearer, my anxiety fading, and my motivation returning stronger than before. It’s more than just enjoying a beautiful view; it’s an opportunity for me to truly reconnect with myself and with my studies on a deeper level. This balance of mental clarity and study focus is something I cherish and am profoundly grateful for.

Welcoming in December from Inverness, Capital of the Highlands.
The city of Inverness has played a key role throughout Scottish history. It was the capital of the Picts in the Middle Ages, during which time St. Columba visited in 565, converting the King of the Picts to Christianity. The kingdom of Alba would later be created when the kingdoms of the Scots and Picts were united in 843. This developed into the Scotland we know today.
Two hundred years later, Macbeth is said to have murdered King Duncan in his castle in Inverness. During this era, the town was the site of many battles and skirmishes. One of the most destructive occurred when the Abbot of Arbroath had his men burn down large parts of the town. The town was burnt down a second time in 1411 by Donald, Lord of the Isles.
During the Early Modern Age, there was substantial tension between the Highlands and the Scottish crown. This was shown in 1562 when the governor refused Mary, Queen of Scots entry - an act he would go on to be hanged for. In 1746 Inverness Castle was captured by Jacobites. When they were defeated at Culloden in April, the rebels were sacked from the castle. A large fortification was built to prevent such uprisings from occurring again.
The industry of Inverness was largely related to shipbuilding from the Middle Ages, however other industries grew such as whisky distilling. By the late 20th century, industry in Inverness had been transformed. Although it was still a busy port, tourism had become a major industry in the region, in large part due to the myth of the Loch Ness monster.
