Highland Ghillies

By Linda Tancs

Derry (also known as Londonderry) is Northern Ireland’s second largest city and the first city in the UK to be designated a City of Culture in 2013.  That means a yearlong slate of festivities is underway, including this weekend’s Highland Dance Festival.  A hub for Scottish dance, Derry’s event is expected to draw the best of highland dancers from the UK and Europe.  Get your ghillies on.
