The Shores Of Black Mill Bay - Scottish Country Dancing Instruction VideoDance Information
This dance is dedicated to Steff Eckert, remembering our lovely stay at the island of Luing at "The Gorsten Bed and Breakfast", run by Julia Shuff. We hade an interesting "walk" at the beach with me hopping from stone to stone, from mudhole to mudhole and - of course - me kissing the earth. Eventually, we sat on a rock at the beach, listening to the waves and mother nature.Music Suggestion: something comforting, e.g. "Well Kent"
