The Ceremony of Beating Retreat at Edinburgh Castle 2024 - CCF | Highland Dancers and Pipes & Drums

[@JamesFrank-q5u]

My great grandparents left Scotland in the late 19th century, I must assume it's that Scottish blood that brings a knot in my throat and a tear in my eye when I hear the pipes.

[@ladyd8339]

Don't ever give up these wonderful traditions! So wonderful to see! It gave me goose bumps!

[@altblechasyl_cs2093]

This would be more better with a lot of arabs in between. That will give new nice exotic traditions too. 😂

[@torinoherrera]

Did ballet start 🤔 in this dance 🕺?

@@altblechasyl_cs2093 Aye and maybe a few somalis with their lovely traditions as well, since anyone can be a Scot and all

This is not simply about a centuries-old tradition. This is about that tradition evolving into the new era. Look at the faces of all those true Scottish ladies. There are more than a few whose ancestors were born far, far away from the old Highlands, yet still, they dance proudly, and Scotland is proud of them.

​@@jakeleo4518No. It has nothing to do with ballet. It's highland dancing. And it's not as easy as a person might think.
