Dance Information

Tarland is home to the Culsh Earth House, an Iron Age below-ground dwelling known as a Souterrain built around 2,000 years ago. Despite being called a dwelling it was probably not for living in, but served as a stone-lined underground passage used to store food and may have had some ritual significance.
