Dance Information

The Water of Unich feeds into Loch Lee, a loch in Angus south of the Grampian Mountains, Scotland. It is conjectured that "Unich" derives from the Gaelic word "uinich", which means "bustling".

The Falls of Unich are on the flow of the Water of Lee between Hunt Hill and Craig Maskeldie.
