Dance Information

Ythanside is located beside the Burn of Cattie in Aberdeenshire, Scotland.

The river Ythan rises 7 miles east of Huntly in Aberdeenshire, flows east to Bruckhills, northeast to Mains of Towie, south to Fyvie, southwards to Ellon then onwards to the river estuary at Newburgh Bar 12 miles north of Aberdeen.

The title of this dance, Ythanside, is shared with the Ythanside - Poem written by John Gordon of Mansfield around 1830.
