Dance Information

Also see the dance A Highland Welcome (Forbes) by Bill Forbes.

This dance was dedicated to Barbara Little.


The title of this dance is shared with A Highland Welcome - Poem written by Robert Burns in 1787.

When death's dark stream I ferry o'er,
A time that surely shall come;
In Heaven itself, I'll ask no more,
Than just a Highland welcome.
