Trips and Tours
Posters for trips go up the week before and tickets go on sale from the Chaplaincy the Monday before the trip. Book early as they go quickly! Much of Scotland’s beauty is in its scenery so we usually include some walking on our trips. The weather can be very variable though, so you should always bring waterproof jacket, warm sweater(s) and strong, flat shoes.
