Dance Information

Devised in 2002, by John Drewry, this dance was devised in memory of HM Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother.

The name "Strathmore" comes from the Scottish Gaelic for "large valley" and so can refer to a number of places in Scotland (and others around the world). In this case Strathmore, Angus, is where Glamis Castle (childhood home of Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother) can be found.
