So what has blogging done for me? This year is the first time I’ve ever done anything like this in my life. But for some reason, when I saw on social media they were looking for people to contribute to the Student Blog, I decided to go for it. The piece I submitted for it […]
It’s safe to say that this semester has been very different to every other, as (at least on my course), there was no in-person teaching or working at all. Also, I personally was unable to travel to Scotland for 5 months. This meant that I didn’t visit the site for our project until four days […]

There are a few disclaimers to be had: firstly, I’m a history student, so some of these tips will probably only be relevant to fellow […]
With the weather getting warmer, days getting longer and eased restrictions moving closer (hopefully), I am starting to get back to planning bigger adventures a little further from Dundee, in hopes that they will be possible in some form this summer. In the spirit of adventure inspiration, I have dug out some past adventure video […]
