Tales from the Burn

The PhD Reading Party of 2014 took place in the serene Burn House, outside Edzell bordering on the Cairngorms.

The PhD students had the opportunity to talk about their research, hear talks from staff as well as socialise with all other participants outside the academic work environment.

The lovely Scottish weather permitted everyone to explore the grounds, river and star gaze amongst other activities. Looks like everyone had great fun.
