  • 1) What kind of weather can I expect in Edinburgh in August?
    August is one of the warmest times of the year in Edinburgh. Average temperature in the 60s to low-70s during the day, and cooler at night. Prepare for some rain most days, mixed in with spectacular sunny days. Heat waves are rare.

    2) Can I arrive before or remain after the sojourn?
    Yes. If you would like to arrive at the start location in advance or remain at the end location after the sojourn has concluded, Scholarly Sojourns can help you arrange your hotel accommodation. Please indicate these preferences to us after you have registered for a particular sojourn.

    3) How much walking will be required on this sojourn?
    This sojourn involves several tours of historic sites and towns that require walking a considerable distance. All participants should be comfortable walking up to a mile at a time and climbing up to three flights of stairs at a time.

    4) I am a single traveler, can you help me find a roommate?
    Scholarly Sojourns will do all we can to match single travelers with a suitable roommate if they desire. But we cannot guarantee that roommates will be available. Therefore all single travelers should register as such and be prepared to pay the single traveler rate should a roommate not be identified.

    5) Is this sojourn appropriate for children?
    This sojourn is not appropriate for children. Young adults, however, will find the program quite enjoyable, and they may find it gets them extra credit in their literature class.


    A list of suggested reading will be distributed about two months prior to the sojourn.

    The meeting point for this sojourn is the Sugarhouse Close Apartments in central Edinburgh. Participants making their own travel arrangements should plan to arrive between 10:00 and 16:00 on the first day of the sojourn. The first official activity begins at 17:00 that day.

    Optional air package from/to New York: $1,448/person
    The air package includes round-trip, trans-Atlantic flight, airport transfers in the destination, and 100% travel assurance. This travel package can be booked once you have registered for this sojourn and paid the deposit of $500 per traveler. Scholarly Sojourns can also help arrange your travel from any US gateway.
