Dance Information

Balquidder seems to be an alternative spelling of the place named Balquhidder.

Balquhidder is a small village in the Stirling council area of Scotland. It is overlooked by the dramatic mountain terrain of the Braes of Balquhidder, at the head of Loch Voil.

The churchyard at Balquhidder is Rob Roy's final resting place.
