It is estimated that Rae taught from 3000 to 4000 students over her nearly fifty years of instruction. Rae was among those instrumental in the initiation of the Glengarry concerts staged on a regular basis first at the National Arts Centre and later at the Centrepoint Theatre.
In more recent years, she and her troupe performed in the United States, Puerto Rico, Belgium, Bulgaria, Scotland, Mexico, Spain and the Republic of China. Locally, each January to celebrate Robbie Burns Day, Rae gracefully filled the role of hostess, entertaining with dinner, music, song and dance at the Bonnie Glen. It is here as well as at the St. Andrew’s Day festivities and the Friday night Tattoo at the Highland Games where we witnessed her impact on our young teenagers as they showed their talent and their appreciation of our Celtic heritage.
