This is a great opportunity for someone who is interested in experiencing Scotland and learning Scottish history.
Yes, it is a great opportunity to study at the university where so many of the Leslies studied over the centuries.
The University of Aberdeen is very close to all of the important Leslie historical sites.
Also, we have arranged the timing of the summer session to permit attendance at the Tattoo and the Aboyne Highland Games.
A major step for the Foundation which takes the lead in ensuring that the deep links between Scotland & the USA are strengthened by a serious academic approach to our extraordinary shared history.
