A Scottish Country dance is a form of social dance involving groups of couples of dancers tracing progressive patterns according to a predetermined choreography.

Tour Scotland video of Scottish Country Dancers at the Highland Games in Stirling, Scotland. Scottish country dancing is a social form of dance with three or more couples of dancers, and should not be confused with Scottish highland dance, a solo form of dance. There is a certain amount of cross-over, in that there are Scottish country dances that include highland elements as well as highland style performance dances which use formations otherwise seen in country dances, but these are relatively few when the two dance forms are considered each as a whole.
