Tour Scotland 4K travel video compilation of bagpipes music and traditional Scottish Highland dancing on visit to the Highland Games in Ceres, Fife, Britain, United Kingdom. Highland dance or Highland dancing is a style of competitive solo dancing developed in the Scottish Highlands in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the context of competitions at public events such as the Highland games. Highland dancing is often performed to the accompaniment of Highland bagpipe music. It is now seen at nearly every modern-day Highland games event. In Gillie Callum or Scottish sword dance the dancer crosses two swords on the ground in an X shape, dances around and within the 4 quarters of it. In 1573 Scottish mercenaries are said to have performed a Scottish Sword dance before the Swedish King, John III, at a banquet held in Stockholm Castle.
