The Ravelston Rant - Scottish Country Dancing Instruction VideoDance Information
The Ravelston Rant deviser, Philip Whitley from RSCDS Edinburgh, devised this dance for Ravelston resident and Branch member Elaine Greenslade.Ravelston is an affluent area of Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland, to the west of the city centre, the east of Corstorphine and Clermiston, the north of Murrayfield and Roseburn and to the south of Queensferry Road (the A90). Ravelston is often considered to be part of the larger neighbouring area of Murrayfield.
The area is primarily made up of fairly large detached and semi-detached family homes, as well as modern apartments and many bungalows. To the east of Ravelston Terrace is the Dean Path and Water of Leith Walkway, while to the west lies Ravelston Dykes Golf Club, sandwiched between Ravelston and Corstorphine Hill.
