London Highland Club

The London Highland club is a major Scottish Country Dance club in the London area, which runs Scottish Country dance functions at a central London venue.

It was founded in 1923 to meet the social need of young Highlanders in London. Over the years, it has developed into its current form.

The highlights of our year are the Presidents Night, the Christmas Dance, Annual Ball and Summer Ball. In addition to these, we run dances one saturday night per month plus a few theme evenings on friday nights. Our saturday night dances are mostly informal and are held in the lower hall of St Columba's church from 7.00pm to 10.30pm with a live band..Our Friday nights are held in the upper hall of St Columba's ,church from 7.30pm until 10.30pm with a mixture of recorded music and music from our members. St Columba's Church is situated in Pont Street, close to Knightsbridge underground station and Harrod's. At the Annual Ball and the Summer Ball we encourage dancers to dress more formally (in evening dress if possible); and we invite a band down from Scotland for the occasion. On the last weekend in July, the club holds a camping weekend at East Wittering on on the South coast.
