Join in the fun at Winter School 2020!

Every year, many keen Scottish country dancers enjoy five days of fun, fitness and friendship in the beautiful setting of Pitlochry which is located at the very heart of Highland Perthshire in Scotland.

Our upcoming Winter School in February 2020 will mark the 21st year of our annual Scottish country dancing school in Pitlochry.

This is a brilliant week of dancing and socialising in a relaxing and beautiful location. Dancers can also look forward to a formal Ball in the enchanting and historical Blair Atholl Castle!

In addition to the fun of daily Scottish country dancing there are many optional extras dancers can enjoy such as whisky tasting; a visit to the archaeological Scottish Crannog Centre; a guided walk around Pitlochry; a talk from the John Muir Trust as well as one from the Society’s Archivist, Alan Macpherson.

Enjoy some highlights of last year’s Winter School below and read some of the lovely feedback from dancers attending the 2019 Winter School event:

“Good choice of dances; beautiful venue and super band! Wonderful to be able to dance in such an historical setting.”
