Three short years ago, from the townland of Sollus, in the parish of Dunnalong, Sollus,
meaning the place of light, came the Sollus School of Highland Dancing.
Inspired by the descendants of the scottish planters who have called these lands
their homes for almost 400 years, the group
has rekindled the flame of highland
dancing in a new generation, and taken it to a level where almost 1000 medal and
trophies have been captured on the competition circuit, and the dancers have performed
the length and bredth of the country, and in Scotland.
With over 200 active participants coming from the city, as well as the surrounding
rural district, it is evident that the Ulster Scots tradirtions
are still alive
and well.
