DST - Celtic Society's Highland Ball

St Andrews Celtic Society

 

The University of St Andrews Celtic Society held their Highland Ball in Younger Hall, St Andrews on Saturday 25th February 2023.  It was a belated special celebration of their 225th anniversary, postponed due to Covid, and celebrating the RSCDS Centenary. 

Music was provided by Sandy Nixon and his Scottish Dance Band.  The programme included Gaelforce Wind, Tribute to the Borders, The Shetland Shepherdess and Ladies' Fancy alongside a demonstration from the new Celtic Society book.
