Hey there, Welcome to a new blog post! It is that time of year where it’s cold, dark and stressful. Exams, essays and assignments are looming and the only thing that seems to get people through is the thought of going home for Christmas. For the past week or so I have been transfixed on […]
I absolutely love to read. Luckily my course as lots of interesting things on its reading list. But at home in the flat its easy to get distracted when trying to write essays or trying to grasp a concept as part of the course content. When I just can’t concentrate at home the best thing […]
About an hour’s train journey away from Dundee, lies a small town called Pitlochry, home to a forest that for a whole month of every year for the past fifteen years turns into a magical light show. This year’s theme was ‘Shimmer’, featuring disco balls, flashing lights, beautiful music and a giant tree fairy. Tickets […]
Tucked away in a quiet little corner of a busy city centre, you will find The Howff graveyard. Initially opened in 1564, it is a historian’s own heaven, housing an important collection of gravestones.

Most people like me had thought that Dundee has extreme weather conditions. The only reason we came up with this conclusion was the fact that Dundee is located north of the UK. Its been a month since i arrived in Dundee and honestly I have no idea how to predict it! Some days when I […]
As a Kentish girl, born and raised, I spent my summers at the beach at Herne Bay or in little coffee shops to dip out of the sun while doing a spot of shopping in Canterbury. The summers were long awaited but the winters weren’t all that harsh. The leaves changed and welcomed the cool […]
Dear Dundee, You’re an onion. A big, fat onion with one hundred layers. And sometimes you make me cry, but I still like you. I judged you from the moment I met you. Like hard core totally unfair Simon Cowell type judgment. Earlier that day, your distant neighbor, Edinburgh, welcomed me down from […]
