Welcome to the Stirling Castle Scottish Country Dance Group

In 1959 a small group of Stirling based country dancers met to enjoy social dancing with like-minded folk. What became the Stirling Castle S.C.D. Group found much countrywide interest in our fortnightly dances during the months between Autumn and Spring.

Initially, dancing was in the gymnasium of Stirling Castle then in the Town's T.A. Drill Hall before progressing to St. Mary's School, Kildean Toll before moving to our new home in St Ninian's Parish Church Hall, Kirk Wynd, St Ninians, Stirling FK7 9AY. We hope to see you there.

On Saturday 4th April 2009, a very successful dance marking the 50th Anniversary of the group was held in the Victoria Hall, Dunblane. It was enjoyed by over 140 dancers. Amongst these were at least 2 dozen former members of the "Castle Demonstration Team" from the sixties to the eighties including Margaret Thomson, our team leader and tutor during that period.

Our excellent music was provided by Colin Dewar and his band.

Also present, was the founder and first Chairman of the Group - Keith Dingley (still dancing!) who inaugurated the occasion by cutting a celebratory cake.
