The Glenrothes - Scottish Country Dancing Instruction VideoDance Information
Although there is a town of Glenrothes (pronounced "glen-roth-iss") in Scotland, situated approximately halfway between Edinburgh and Dundee, this dance is named after the malt whisky produced at The Glenrothes Distillery in the small Speyside (pronounced "spay-side") town of Rothes. Although it had formerly been used only for blending, The Glenrothes has been bottled as a single malt since 1977; this dance celebrates the launch.
