The 160th Royal Caledonian Ball took place on Friday the 2nd of May 2008 at Grosvenor House, Park Lane, London.
Iona, Duchess of Argyll, the Trustees and the Committee would like to thank everyone involved and attending for making this year's ball such a success.
Since starting in the 1840s and raising money for charity since 1849, The Royal Caledonian Ball is quite probably the oldest charity ball in the world. It combines helping to keep traditional Scottish dancing alive in the heart of London's West End with raising money for Scottish charities all through one night of reeling each year. Over recent years the ball has, on average, been able to donate over 50% of the ticket price to the charities it supports.
