Duns Daisy Chain - Scottish Country Dancing Instruction VideoDance Information
The dance was devised to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Duns and District Branch of the RSCDS. The name is a combination of:Duns for the Branch;
Chain in recognition that, in 1969, the Branch gifted a silver-gilt chain to the RSCDS for use with the chairman's RSCDS medallion; and
Daisy after the nickname of Margaret Rae, the founder of the Branch who was also instrumental in commissioning and designing the chain.
