Dance Information

This strathspey, Sandy's Scotch Broth, was dedicated by the deviser to her friend, Sandy Gordon.

Scotch broth is a filling soup, originating in Scotland but now obtainable worldwide. The principal ingredients are usually barley, stewing or braising cuts of lamb, mutton or beef, root vegetables such as carrots, swedes or sometimes turnips and dried pulses.
