Curleywee - Scottish Country Dancing Instruction VideoDance Information
The Galloway hills are part of the Southern Uplands of Scotland, and form the northern boundary of western Galloway. They lie within the bounds of Galloway Forest Park, an area of some 300 hundred square miles of largely uninhabited wild land, managed by the Forestry Commission.The unusual place names, reflect a mixture of the Old Norse and Scottish Gaelic languages and hint at the range of influences which have acted on society within the area over the centuries.
