Scotland: Country Houses, Craftsmanship, and Collections – Study Trip Abroad
STUDY TRIP ABROAD
June 4–12 and 18–26, 2026
Join us for a Study Trip Abroad to Scotland! The Scots wrought a magnificent culture upon a beautiful and rugged landscape, witnessed today by exploring centuries-old manor houses and the vibrant cities of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Impressive architecture and splendid collections come to life as expert guides and curators share grand estates and artistic treasures from Ayrshire and the Firth of Clyde to the Lothians and the Firth of Forth and then down to the Borders. The itinerary also offers a special chance to explore a range of noteworthy commissions by William, Robert, and John Adam. Access to private residences, talented historians, and a wee dram of whisky stimulate enriching conversations with fellow travelers as we gain a deeper appreciation for Scottish history and decorative arts, including the plentiful connections to 18th-century America as part of our nation’s Semiquincentennial year.
