Scottish Music & Dance
Scotland has a rich tradition of music, song and dance. We have the
Ceilidh (pronounced kay-lay) which is an informal evening of dancing,
singing and, of course, drinking good whisky. A Ceilidh involves Scottish
Country Dancing, which is enjoyed by a large number of people and can be
as formal or informal as people wish to make it.
There is also the more formal Highland Dancing which is often
undertaken competitively at Highland Games.
