Where
The beautiful Wiston Lodge is in a scenic small hamlet in South Lanarkshire (Southern Uplands), Scotland. Located 13 miles (21 km) southeast of Lanark and 8 miles (13 km) southwest of the old market town of Biggar and within an hour’s drive of both Edinburgh and Glasgow. An area steeped in history, many of the towns in the region have historical landmarks.
Wiston Lodge provides a unique quiet rural setting where people can feel safe and be supported to develop the skills they need to fulfil their personal and professional potential, free from the distractions of everyday life.
This wonderful venue is within walking distance of Tinto Hill, which at 707 metres is the highest point in Central Scotland. Tinto Hill offers sweeping views of the Clyde and Avon Valley, as well as the Lake District, the mountains of Mourne in Northern Ireland, Ailsa Craig and the Island of Arran, the Arrochar Alps and as far north as Lochnagaar in the Cairngorms.
