Modern methods of transport and communication have made it possible for the first
time for more and more people in all parts of the world to travel great distances
quickly and safely and to meet each other. Indeed it has become quite usual for
people employed in business and the professions to spend much of their time in foreign
countries.
The Gordonstoun Summer Language and Adventure Course provides a splendid
opportunity for boys and girls from other parts of the world to experience life
in a foreign country, and to make a start to learn, or to improve their knowledge
of English.
They will be able to do this against a background of Scotland's magnificent
scenery with all it has to offer in sports and recreations.

I don't suppose any
future business or diplomatic appointment in a foreign country will be quite the
same as this Summer School Course, but at least everything will be done to make
this first introduction to the strangeness of a foreign country as happy and rewarding
as possible.
