Dance Information

Drumelzier (pronounced "drummellier") is a village in the Tweed Valley in the Scottish Borders.

The village takes its name from Drumelzier Castle, located hard by the River Tweed not far from the village centre. It was the ancient seat of the Tweedie family, first chartered to Roger de Twydyn about 1320.

It is said that it was here, that Merlin, the wizard of Arthurian legend, was imprisoned by Morgan la Fay, in a tree.
