Tinto Summer Schools are a much-loved series of 5-day residential schools in traditional music for high school age (12-18) participants and a seniors weekend for over 18s. The school takes place at Wiston Lodge, a beautiful Victorian former hunting lodge in the peaceful rural heart of South Lanarkshire. Students partake in five hours of teaching per day with top traditional musicians from all over the country. In addition to the teaching they have a number of activities for evenings and breaks including campfires, BBQs, a fancy dress ceilidh and a tutor concert as well as outdoor games.
