Hello, my name is Henrique, I’m a history major student and originally from Brazil. I’m passionate about history, but Scottish history was pretty unfamiliar to me before this course. I’ve became particularly interested in the course’s approach of history using guidebooks and postcards, enabling an analysis of history on a more intimate level. It takes the history away from the larger picture and brings it to a more personal view of 18th and 19th century Scottish tourism, allowing us to see the world through the eyes of people from the past using means that are not usually thought of as useful for the study of history.
