Dance Information

Braes are what the Scottish call the sloping banks of a river-valley, slope or hillside and a glen is another name for a valley.

Glenshiel (or Glen Shiel) is a glen in the northwest highlands of Scotland running approximately from Loch Cluanie to Loch Duich, about 40 miles (70km) north of Fort William.
