Welcome to the world of
The
Craigellachie Scottish Dance Band
Craigellachie is one of the UK’s most innovative and exciting Scottish Country Dance bands based south of the border. For over 30 years they have been playing disciplined Scottish dance music that is both good to dance and listen to, taking pride in their musical arrangements. They are at home in ballroom or at reeling parties.
On this website you can find out where they are playing, download sound clips, sheet music, and learn more about Craigellachie’s music and its individual members

Helen and Andrew will be returning for their second visits and Craigellachie will again be the resident musicians.
