Dance Information

This dance was composed to mark the wedding of Sara Brockbank and Alex Wright, which took place near Forres on 8 April 2023, at a secret location.

Guests were informed only to gather at the Mosset Tavern at 2pm, with no prior disclosure of the ceremony's location. Transport was arranged from there by bus.

The venue was revealed to be on the banks of Loch of Blairs, situated within the Altyre Estate near Forres.

The bride made her entrance by rowing boat, and the ceremony was held outdoors beneath the trees along the loch's edge.
