[@wenliag]

I am learning this here in NZ, and loving it. These fit dancers have given me more inspiration to get fitter and dance more. Well done the Scots. Love it

[@PatchworkDuckie]

We are learning to Scottish dance at school...ITS SO MUCH FUN :D

[@LibertangoVieenrose]

wonderful heritage, culture, music, dance...

[@neurofire]

How good is this! I now understand my mother's love of Scottish dance. Thanks mom!

[@Auroral3orealis]

Ah, this is beautiful! Love, love, love, love, looooooooooooooove Scotland!

[@kittieflower]

my family came from Kilmarnock, we go to Festivals every year, can't wait to get over there!

[@claudiacastillo6396]

I just LOVE everything Scottish... music, dance, culture.

[@elizabethcooper206]

@taylorxz12 scotland is not crap its amazing when you look at the diverse culture and history , the music isnt dumb its traditional bagpipes , and they are wearing the uniform for the dance much like how ballerinas where tutus ?!

[@Corryvrechan]

@Lyolyaignisfatuus Traditionally, kilts would be worn to represent an individual's family/clan, each having their own unique tartan design. For displays and ceremonial activities, everyone may wear the same tartan (eg. To represent a specific military division or a team).

[@TelheirasSCD]

Absolutely spectacular!

[@Corryvrechan]

Dances are: Angus MacLeod, Saxmundham, Reel of the 51st

[@noaharancon]

[@reemfarhat6905]

that's so beautiful magnificent

[@chelseayearsley8091]

i love this scottish dances i come from scotland

[@EMesaros]

To andreazuffer: I don't know the dance, but the first tune is "the Barren Rocks of Aden;" the second sounds a little like "The Braes of Killiecrankie." If I a wrong, please someone tell me! Then comes "Mari's Wedding."

[@emncaity]

@charby2234 "Wish you would have"? Why not now? Scottish country dancing is grand stuff at any age, and the more you do it, the more it'll keep you in shape.

[@michaelcummingsherrera1232]

I recognize, Mairi's Wedding, the song, but not the dance. However, I do know, Reel of the 51st Division and The Drunk Piper. I am a member of the Los Angeles Branch of the RSCDS and would like to say, well done, lads and lasses!

[@mersaphireful]

i love my country

[@meaganwhitney5030]

It depends on the "skirt". With a traditional kilt, no, since men are usually the ones who wear it. But there is a special skirt I used when I did highland dancing that was only meant for one dance. It was a little bit longer and wider than a regular kilt, and I did hold it in that "itty-pretty" fashion, more like a lady, as if I were about to curtsey. Hope this helps!

[@Condeye]

Love it :D

[@weecookie44]

You can never be too auld to learn Scottish Country Dancing.

[@EMesaros]

Thanks so much for answering! Of course you are right, now that I listen again! I sing Nutbrown M. but it sounds so wierdly different on the pipes that I truly didn't recognize it until you told me. I understand that this is because the pipes can only play certain intervals and not the infinite number that can be sung. This is so funny! I can't wait to tell my friend the pipe major What a dummy I am--he will get a laugh.

[@ih1955]

Lovely stuff. After so many years away from the UK, this brings back some fond memories. Thanks for posting. BTW, is that John Cleese dancing towards the camera with a grin on his face at 0:12s ?!

[@glencoe8251]

Certainly dances like him.

[@supercat1997]

like it!, from Indonesia

[@Lyolyaignisfatuus]

Kilts of dancers are different. Is it OK now?

[@StrathendrickPiper]

the tune is called the barren rocks of aiden

[@briangreemup7440]

I wish I dance like that

[@natkretep]

We are dancing this in Stornoway this month. Interesting to see two men-only and two ladies-only couples. That means corners are always men only or ladies only.

[@Beezerjuice]

Now you know where Square dancing in America started.

[@theinspiredscholar7885]

What is the name of the dance with the weaving figure? Or is it choreographed?

[@andreaziffer]

I would like to know the names of the dances

[@davidstuart401]

This is Kilkenny, Ireland, "cilkeanag". But that's okay and appropriate as a Celtic event.

[@sameerkdv]

LONG LIVE KILTS !!!!!!!!!

[@bridgitcampbell3957]

Isn't that the Archbishop of Canterbury in the red coat?

[@craisin1]

Nice dancing. I know how much it is murder on the feet on those surfaces (hated dancing out of doors at any time)...I miss my days of demonstration SCD,,,,,oh well, if they can accept a retired 65 year old back maybe I would try again (but the polish would not be there I'm afraid)....aaahhh...the good 'ol days! :-)

[@jeanrennie2287]

Chris Raisin

[@craigduff5512]

Chris Raisin yes its not good for you're dancing pumps I'm still Scottish country dancing when I can fit it in meaning work

[@kurtb8474]

I feel for the piper a little. He had to stop and for a second because he got away from the other music. It's tough to hear other music when you're drones are right in your ear.

[@BabixPawii]

Now isnt that gorgeous ? :)

[@StrathendrickPiper]

not too bag, could have held afew of the longer notes for longers, but who knows perhaps it was a cold day

[@kayliefearon3933]

I did this

[@MrMeanderthal]

yes, that's why the Germans called them the "Ladies from Hell"

[@kurtb8474]

@Ascaidh The Barren Rocks of Aden, twice, then The Brown-Haired Maiden.

[@kurtb8474]

@CodFreak00 I'm sorry... also The Brown-Haired Maiden.

[@CodFreak00]

what is the song called

[@michaelcummingsherrera1232]

I don't know the name of the first one, but the second one is called, Mairi's Wedding, and third one is called, The Drunk Piper.

[@fredymackenzie1147]

Actually, each weaver would have his own tartan. If the whole Clan got their Kilts from the same weaver, they would be wearing the same tartan, but originally there were not such things as family tartans. Those just arise from the gigantic mess of sorting scottish tartans after the english had banned Kilts between 1500 and 1600, I guess.

[@fokmertek]

that's a nice frack there!

[@natkretep]

Interesting use of two men-only couples and two ladies-only couples for Angus Macleod.

[@kurtb8474]

@CodFreak00 The Barren Rocks of Aden

[@allisonforfornsed]

yay! finally a dance where the men's skirts (kilts, yeah yeah) where the men's "skirts" are shorter than the women's! And where the men's outfits are more revealing than the womens! yay!

[@cristinarodriguezmaestro5429]

Me. Gusta

[@andresostep]

@charby2234 go ahead take those lessons and be proud...

[@fivenaumans]

@charby2234 Never too late to start. :)

[@henry10201020]

It sounds like music played in funeral...

[@Fliegerbombe]

und am Ende die Stimme einer Frau auf Deutsch: "Das war der bla bla bla" :D

[@dennisjmillikenjr]

Proud to be a camerin :D

[@calumway7560]

In that case surely you should know how to spell the name!

[@aurorabaucum]

LOUD but pretty

[@Zonabop]

Not to mention we're SO MUCH BETTER at sports than the English XD

[@RECKANOWHERE]

It's Scottish Morris Dancing

[@Niamhyo_x]
