LINK- Saturday Midday

Katie, another Ambassadorial Scholar from Newcastle, in front of St. Fagan's Castle built 1580

We then proceeded to St. Fagans National History Museum which is an open air museum bringing to life Welsh history and tradition. It was here that we started to see the unique Welsh language on all the buildings and signs. You can visit the website here: http://www.museumwales.ac.uk/en/stfagans

To allow us to get to know each other better, we were split into groups of 6 or 7 scholars and sent out to explore the buildings and sites of St. Fagans. Here are some of the things we learned about Welsh culture – heibio i a anrhega (past and present).
