What: The Lonach Highland and Friendly Society’s annual Lonach Highland Ball
Where: Lonach Hall, Strathdon
Who: Around 130 people attended the ball, including patron of the society Sir James and Lady Kerry Forbes who travelled from California to attend the Lonach Gathering, games and the ball.
Attendees were a mix of society members and guests and people who had come to Lonach and heard about the ball.
Why: On the night, guests were seated for a four-course dinner followed by traditional Scottish country dancing, with music by the Graeme Mitchell Dance Band.
The annual Highland ball and prize-giving is always held the Friday after the Lonach Gathering. The Lonach Society was founded in 1823, and 2014 marked the 173rd Lonach Gathering and games.
