Skiing In the Scottish Highlands


With the Winter Olympics in Vancouver in full flow a few of us decided to join in the action and travel to the Scottish Highlands to enjoy a day of skiing. The mountains in Scotland are not as big as those found in the Alps or Canada so the skiing in not quite as good. We do however we think that Scotland’s views the best in the world. There will be no snow around in July when this year’s holiday takes place but we can guarantee the most magical landscapes and perfect locations to learn English. Why not have a look at some more photos here.
