Larry Goes to Scotland

In March Larry went to Scotland for three weeks for the International College of Dentistry's student exchange program. While there, he stayed with Eileen and her family, and had a great time.
Eileen is a dental student at the University of Glasgow in Scotland. This is the front of the school. In Scotland students are picked out of high school to go straight into dental school. Then, a residency is required after they complete the initial dental school portion.
This is a walkway that runs between the quads at the dental school. The architecture in Scotland is beautiful, with a lot of the old stone buildings we don't see much here.

This is Larry sitting in his big throne in the Cathedral of Glasgow. Glasgow is full of beautiful old cathedrals with stained glass windows.




Larry has had a fascination with William Wallace ever since he saw the movie Braveheart. Of course while in Scotland he had to go and see the Wallace Monument. There are hundreds of steps to climb to get to the top of the monument, and while up there you have a wonderful view of Sterling.







Here is Larry standing by William Wallace's sword. Larry was feeling a little "sword envy" I think. This is quite the sword to have to haul out into battle!!











This picture is looking out across Sterling where the William Wallace monument is. Scotland is a beautiful country, but definitely not big like we are used to. You can drive across the entire country in a few hours.










Here is Larry in Oban, another city in Scotland. Out behind him you see the Atlantic Ocean. Pretty much wichever way you head in Scotland you will run into the ocean pretty soon. We have hundreds of pictures Larry brought back with him. If anyone is interested let us know & we'll get them to you to look at.
