The Gay Gordons - Scottish Ceilidh Dance in Edinburgh with HotScotch Ceilidh Band 

Remember getting this taugh in the School

love the music --played it for twenty years ------------hate dancing!

I always wanted to learn it properly but some people say u just learn on the spot or not and thats what makes it so fun ? Born south of the border but lived in highlands 30 years finally started latin an ballroom classes its fun too its all good ide say lets hope the Scots english irish and welsh and cornish can retain our culture over the next 50 years ? I hope so weve all come through so much just to give it away ? Stay happy be close to nature and music

Anyone here a Scottish person that still hates that they had to do this in school 😭😭 I still hate it to this day

It's the only Scottish dance I remember how to do! My party piece when I've had a couple too many!! I did my high school years there and come the end of term/Christmas..for the disco/dance..we had to learn it...8-some reels.....Strip the Widows....(sorry..muso's joke) Willow...etc.. I had wonderful , amazing music teachers.......but when It came to dancing...that was left up to the P.E. Dept!!!! Boys on the left!...Girls on the right!..........we did what we were told to .........then............"Take a partner!!" There was a chaotic movement...like cockroaches scuttling out of sight when you come home late at night and switch the lights on. Some guys moved in like bees to pollen....and some of us flies ended up with shit. But, in some of the dances with the house lights up......we could swril and swirl around....swap partners..(???) and maybe..just maybe.....you could have your arm around the waist of Elizabeth xxxxx...or ..Vivien xxxxxxxx.....or Carol xxxxxxx , (out of bounds..her boyfriend was 19!!) Big League......oh the list could go on.......a brief encounter with that girl......a few stumbled steps, plukes(pimples) and bad breath...that was that!!! Good memories Thanks for posting. love and peace from Kaapstad.
