Event Details

Calling keen Scottish country dancers! Winter School is our most prestigious annual event and is enjoyed by avid Scottish country dancers. This year will mark the 21st birthday of Winter School in Pitlochry. Taking place over five days in the beautiful town of Pitlochry, we welcome around 150 dancers from the UK, continental Europe, North America and Australasia. The highlight of Winter School is a formal ball that takes place in the majestic setting of Blair Atholl Castle. An intensive dance event that is suitable for intermediate or advanced level dancers.
