Teachers
LINDA GAUL, Pitlochry, Perthshire, Scotland
Linda, who was born in Glasgow, began both Scottish Country and Highland dancing as a child in the London area in the 1950s and has been an enthusiastic exponent ever since. She transferred to Glasgow Branch in 1967 when she married and was soon a member of the Demonstration Team, the Committee and then a teacher, having passed her Teacher's Certificate in 1974. During this time she began a long association with Hamilton, Ontario Branch, as a result of friendships forged at St. Andrews Summer School.
In 1987 the Gaul family moved to Pitlochry, where Linda became a member of the Perth & Perthshire Branch. She currently teaches a class at intermediate level and serves on the Branch Committee. Linda has taught many Day and Weekend Schools at home and abroad and had been a member of Summer School staff since 1986. She has also been Director of the RSCDS Winter School, currently held in Pitlochry.
Having completed her term of office as Chairman of the RSCDS, Linda enjoys retirement activities such as dancing, travel, and spending time with her grandchildren. She remains committed to the aims and objects of the Society and looks forward to helping in its future development. We're delighted to have the opportunity to learn from Linda, and hope to forge new friendships with her during her visit to Washington, D.C.!
