Dance Information

Edzell is a village in Angus, Scotland, located 5 miles (8 km) north of Brechin, by the River North Esk.

The most distinctive landmark of the village is the Dalhousie Arch, or Edzell Arch, which spans the main road into Edzell from the south. It was erected in 1887 to commemorate the deaths of the 13th Earl of Dalhousie and his wife.
