Hi, I do not have any details about this dance, but the title makes me wonder about its origin. At one time if one were born in Stirling, Scotland, one could be described as a "Son of the Rock" or presumably a "Daughter of the Rock." The "rock" reference is to the massive rock upon which Stirling Castle dominates the city and the Forth River valley. "Son of the Rock" isn't even a term that was used very much 50 years ago, and probably even less nowadays. Anyone know if this is the derivation of the name of this dance or is it something else altogether? Really appreciate "Minicrib" Charles, thank you. Bill Flynn Kamloops, B.C. With wife Sheena, both Stirling born.
