A group of Scottish miners from Ayrshire visit this elite public school. They tell the news programme how they got involved in lessons, from reading poetry by Robert Burns to explaining how a colliery works. Although some had misgivings about the snobbery they might encounter, all are impressed by the friendliness and hospitality they have received.
Eton College was founded in 1440 by Henry VI and has a reputation for educating members of the aristocracy and royals. Twenty UK prime ministers have been educated at Eton College, including David Cameron and Boris Johnson.
