Gordon Turnbull is a musician and teacher, playing traditional flute and whistle in Edinburgh. He is a founder member of FluteFling, which promotes flute and whistle playing in traditional Scottish contexts and is a key part of the revival of the flute in Scottish traditional music.

Tradwinds Workshops

September update: I am taking a break from Tradwinds traditional flute and whistle workshops and individual tuition for a short while. I look forward to picking things up again before long. More information on Tradwinds here.

Check out my most recent blog post and also the post by John Crawford about the Aberdeen FluteFling that took place in November.


This site is a home for Gordon’s flute and whistle tuition, and other projects, including Orra Press. Learn more about Scottish traditional flute revival events and teaching by visiting FluteFling.
