Dancers from as far afield as Colarado in America and Holland stepped out with enthusiast­s from Barcaldine, Dalmally and Lochgilphe­ad for a summer night of Scottish country dancing in Oban.

The event on Tuesday June 5 in the Church of Scotland Centre, Glencruitt­en Road, was or- ganised by the Lorn (Argyll) branch of Royal Scottish Country Dance Society.

It was one of a series of dances to be held throughout the summer on the first Tuesday of the month from 8pm to 10pm.

Teacher Sue Porter walked the dancers through each dance before the music started. At the end of the night the Colorado family left with the contact for a local Scottish country dance group back home.

Tickets for the next event are £4 for dancers and £2 for spectators.

Classes run from September to Easter, the only requiremen­ts being soft shoes and a love of dance.

The first class of the new season will be Monday September 24 at 7.30pm at the Church of Scotland Centre. Call Sue Porter on 01631 563103 for more informatio­n.
