Atholl Clasp 2007
Congratulations to Sheena McDonald who has received this year's Atholl Clasp, presented by SOBHD Chairman, Christine Lacey.
Sheena has been a mainstay of the Highland Dancing world for many years and is a worthy recipient of the Atholl Clasp. In fact when the 1st Atholl Dancing Festival was held as a fund raiser for the (local) Mid-Atholl Hall in 1976, Sheena was one of the judges who came and gave her time free that day. Thank you Sheena.
