Dance Information

A clachan is a type of small traditional settlement common in Ireland and Scotland up until the middle of the 20th century.

It is usually defined as a small village lacking a church, post office, or other formal building. Their origin is unknown, but it is likely that they are of a very ancient root, most likely dating to medieval times.
