Scottish Country Dancing Generic Calendar
This is a table of events which recur at the same time each year. It's not definitive and contains a number of omissions, but does act as a good guide for those planning the dates for their dances. It's based on my personal experience, please feel free to let me know if there are any errors or if you want something added.
I have been asked to point out to you that if you are planning a dance, please be courteous and consider who you might clash with, especially if you are going to deviate from what other groups expect for your date (as what is in the table below).
