Dance Information
The word Daunder is used, particularly in Scotland, to mean; to stroll, to meander, to go on without reaching a conclusion.A glen is a valley, typically one that is long and bounded by gently sloped concave sides, unlike a ravine, which is deep and bounded by steep slopes. Whittow defines it as a "Scottish term for a deep valley in the Highlands" that is "narrower than a strath".
