History

We have been dancing in Forres since 1950, with the children’s class starting in 1962 (this has now stopped running). A class started in Auldearn in 1963 and moved to Nairn in 1975.

The Royal Scottish Country Dance Society

The RSCDS was founded in 1923 with the objective of the Society to advance the education of the public in traditional Scottish country dancing and its music; and preserve and further the practice of traditional Scottish country dancing and its music.
