Tour Scotland Video Scottish Country Dancers Village Fair In Scone By Perth Perthshire

Tour Scotland video of Scottish Country Dancers at the village Fair on ancestry visit to Scone by Perth, Perthshire, Scotland. Scottish country dancing, a social form of dance with normally two or more couples of dancers, should not be confused with Scottish highland dance, the solo form of dance also seen in this video. 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.
