A HIGHLAND GENTLEMAN'S NEWS & VIEWS
The Royal Caledonian Ball
The 162nd Royal Caledonian Ball will take place on Friday 30th April 2010 at Grosvenor House, Park Lane, London
W1K 7TN.
The Royal Caledonian Ball started sometime in the 1840s as a private gathering given by the Duke and Duchess of
Atholl for their Scottish friends who resided in London. By 1849, still at their invitation, it became a subscription dance
for the purposes of collecting funds for Scottish charities, albeit with a decidedly Highland bias. Records show that the
ball has been held annually ever since; cancellations only occurring with events beyond the committee's control! No
balls took place during the Boer War, following the death of Edward VII in 1910 and during the First and Second World
Wars. Over more than one hundred and fifty years it has grown into one of the highlights of the London Season
