The Banffshire Branch held their Annual dance on 10th November 2023 in the St Thomas's Church Hall, Keith dancing to the James Coutts 4 piece dance band. A fantastic turnout, 11 sets in spite of the terrible weather.
We had the pleasure of the company of the RSCDS Chair William Williamson and his wife Linda along with Gary Coull, RSCDS Chair Elect.
Some photographs of last night and a video of Findlater Castle are attached. A great atmosphere and superb music from the dance band.
