Haughs O' Cromdale - Scottish Country Dancing Instruction VideoDance Information
Several dances named The Haughs O' Cromdale were published by Thomas Wilson in 1809 and 1816 but none seems to match this figure. It was interpreted by the RSCDS in Book 4, published 1927.(Dance information copyright, reproduced here with the kind permission of George Williams)
"Haughs O' Cromdale" is Scots for "meadow by a river of Cromdale".
The Haughs Of Cromdale lie between the Hills Of Cromdale and Cromdale village, in Strathspey, in the Highland council area of Scotland, within the Cairngorms National Park.
