Dance Information

Perthshire, officially the County of Perth, is a registration county in central Scotland.

It was a local government county from 1890 to 1930 and a top-level local government area between 1890-1975, governed by a county council. The county was abolished in 1975 by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 and split between Central and Tayside Regions.

The term "lad" is a colloquial expression primarily used in British English. It is informally employed to refer to a young man, often implying a sense of camaraderie, friendship, or familiarity.

In this context, "lad" is typically used in an affectionate or casual manner to describe a male friend or companion, especially when engaging in social activities or banter.
