Dance Information

The name comes from Clattering as in rattling or noisy, Brig as in Bridge - Clattering Bridge.

The bridge referred to was built over the Devilly Burn in the 1770s, at the bottom of the Cairn O' Mount Road. The only survivor of the crofts and homesteads which were once around there is the Clatterin Brig Restaurant in Cairn O' Mount, Fettercairn (pronounced "fett-uhr-care-n"), Laurencekirk.
