Castles. Crowns. Class trips you'll actually brag about. From Edinburgh's cobblestones to London's royal heart, this trip drops you straight into history. In Scotland, climb up to Edinburgh Castle, perched on an extinct volcano, then wander Greyfriars Kirkyard, the graveyard where J.K. Rowling reportedly pulled names for Harry Potter — see if you can spot them. In England, storm the medieval walls of Warwick Castle, visit Shakespeare's childhood home, and soak up the buzz of Oxford, one of the oldest universities on Earth. It all ends in London and Windsor, where Windsor Castle — still an active royal residence — puts you closer to the crown than you've ever been. Reserve your spot at the informational meeting by grabbing the QR Code on the posters above the drinking fountains or in the first floor East hallway bulletin board. Stop by room 223E to get a flyer and the code.  Our meeting is Thursday, Sept 10 at 6pm in the Commons.
