Wishing a very happy birthday to Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal today!

Dancers from Edinburgh Branch had the honour of meeting the Princess in 1989 when they danced at the 8th Battalion of The Royal Scots Golden Jubilee.

Members of our Demonstration team were Robert Mackay, Sandra and Barry Rose, Barbara and David Ross and Elizabeth Harry. They were joined by Bill Zobel and Linda Gaul.

At this event they danced 8th Battalion - The Royal Scots devised by Wilma Miller with the tune, The Golden Jubilee Reel, composed by Muriel Johnstone.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along and danced with us yesterday evening in Princes Street Gardens! 💃☀️

It was a blazing hot evening, but that didn’t stop us having lots of fun. Visitors to Edinburgh and locals alike joined us on the dance floor, enjoying fabulous live music from the amazing Iain MacPhail. 🎶

Elizabeth Harry kept everyone in the right place at the right time, showing just how easy Scottish country dancing can be. No experience needed — just get on the floor, join in and have a great time!

Thanks to everyone who made it such a memorable evening. 💙

A beautiful combination of storytelling, music and Scottish soft shoe step dancing. 🎶
