Dance Information

Miss Milligan is recognized as the founder of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS). Born in the late 19th century, she played a pivotal role in preserving and promoting Scottish country dancing.

Miss Milligan's dedication to Scottish dance traditions led her to establish the RSCDS in 1923, with the primary objective of fostering an appreciation for Scottish country dancing both in Scotland and internationally. Her commitment to the art form laid the groundwork for the society's mission to standardize and disseminate Scottish country dance steps and formations.

Today, the RSCDS continues to thrive, contributing to the global preservation and enjoyment of traditional Scottish country dancing. Miss Milligan's legacy remains integral to the society's ongoing influence on the world of dance.
