Factoid for all you fans of Downton Abbey: This is the reel that Anna learned from Rose during the family’s trip to Scotland (Season 3 Christmas special). The music playing when Anna reels is a slower-tempo version of the music playing when the lady in the blue dress (and later, her partner) steps into the center of the circle.

Bringing back memories of my country dancing days in Edinburgh, before I emigrated to Canada. I'm now in my 80's and my dancing days are over - but thanks to videos like this, I can relive the glorious past! Thanks so much.

OMG!! I remember Queen Elizabeth dancing with Gillies at the Highland Ball. She was having a great time!

I remember learning that dance in school. It definitely wasn’t performed to that standard, and as I recall the girls in the middle were often airborne during the exchanging/passing stage. It was chaos, but fun.

You just can't listen to this music without tapping your feet

@user-wc5go9sb5j

I hope Scotland rediscovers its true faith and its true history (a good sign was the strong protest reaction against the mad and tyrannical hate crime law). Read G.K. Chesterton, a great defender of Scotland, family and freedom (and a quarter Scots himself). Wake up Scots: protect your families, children and freedom.

being from the western isles, i can say that this is the happiest you will see a scot!

As a small family trio, we played these songs at contra dances in our area (US). It is nice to hear them played.

I am from a small village in Scotland and we learnt these dances for gym class at school. We used to go down to the local community hall on weekends and show off what we learnt!

Just wonderful. I have been away from Scotland for 43 years but have never lost my love of Scottish music. It always brubeck a tear to my eyes.

My cheeks hurt from smiling for eight minutes straight. What a good time they're having.

@marywalker6580 Год назад

Definitely a good cardio workout. Looks like a lot of fun.

When stationed Scotland I became an associate member of the ROYAL BRITISH LEGION OF SCOTLAND where they got me to learn an dance with them. I enjoyed it as the only American in the Legiom for 6 years. Really miss the friendship.
