FIESTA!

RSCDS Banffshire Branch took part in the 200 year celebrations August 2024

This was a celebration of Banff's relationship with Argentina. José de San Martin, the liberator of
Argentina from the Spanish met the Duke of Fife at the Battle of Waterloo. He came to Banff in
1824 and was given the Freedom of the Burgh. This weekend celebrated the 200th anniversary of
his visit.
RSCDS Banffshire's link with the BASC Dancers of Buenos Aires has grown over the last five
years with visits to Buenos Aires by Gordon, Liz and Anne and to Banffshire (Aberdeenshire) by
Charly, Fernando and Valen.
Long may this Aberdeenshire - Argentina connection continue.

There is a new website set up to continue the relationship between Argentina and Banffshire and the FIESTA celebration on Sunday 17th August at Banff Castle.

All members of the Branch, dancing friends invited to join in the celebrations.
