rscds glasgow branch
Glasgow
Glasgow played a significant role in the early stages of the formation of the
RSCDS. A Glasgow Herald announcement invited persons interested in "Scots
Country Dances" to an inaugural meeting in Glasgow on 26 November 1923. The
Glasgow Branch of the Scottish Country Dance Society became separate from HQ
soon afterwards, hence both have a 'founding' date of 1923. ("Royal" was added
in 1951.) Other Branches were formed later. The Glasgow Branch became a Charity
on 1 Jan 1992. For an early history of HQ and Glasgow Branch see article by
Alastair McFadyen.
