McGregor is a small town in South Africa’s Cape Winelands. The town has firm Scottish roots, and even has its own SCD club. An excellent road leads to McGregor, it carries on through the heart of the village and then… stops. The Road to McGregor could in fact be described as the Road to Nowhere.
This dance was devised to celebrate a dancing weekend in McGregor.
