This morning, our residents took a trip all the way to Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We enjoyed a fun and fascinating session, learning lots of interesting facts about Scottish culture — from mountains and lochs to kilts and tartans. There was plenty to discover, and we all learned something new along the way.

A huge thank you to Steve Morton, our very own Scotsman, for kindly lending us his kilt so we could take a closer look, and for treating us to a beautiful poem read in Scottish Gaelic. What a wonderful way to start the day! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿
