Did You Know 9?

Did you know that there is a Scottish Country dance written for Falls of Clyde? Mary Brandon, a Scottish Country Dance teacher and founder of the Hawaii Branch of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS), devised the dance, Falls of Clyde, in honor of the ship. The dance is a medley, meaning it has two types of dance form—a reel (fast dance) and a strathspey (slow dance).  The dance was written in the early 1980s and has been danced aboard the ship and on the pier on two different occasions. RSCDS Hawaii is looking forward to again dance aboard the ship at some point in the near future.
