A beautiful song danced to by amazing poeple. I wish the people where I live would recognize the Scottish dance.

it's dying a death here in scotland believe me ex pats are keeping our traditions alive more so than us, i cant remember a step it's scary, im 41 and watching so much fade away. my whole life never found a teacher of pipes. im always just outside cities and being an adult and tuition prices top be a piper here is a lottery win. to learn gaelic even being a west scot , travel to glasgow or live on the islands, my ancestors gaelic arran twang is supposed to be a dead dialect now. we are wasting faster than the irish, my irish foster mother predicted this and thought sending me to read at the library would magically have me salvage scots gaelic. have you seen scots gaelic written on a page? then hear a scots gael speak it.? i am still a sassenach tongue. sadly. a wee scottish sassenach, foreign in my own land

keeping in mind i was born in strathclyde which spoke a variation of welsh around about the time my ancestors were recorded in scotland would have had a variation of gaelic norse and welsh. i speak none. of them lol

I remember this from the 1950s on Hogmanay Night on BBC tv. I was a young teenager who couldn´t stand óld´ music but I liked Jimmy Shand and his band because he looked a nice bloke and the music was lively. The kind of music that lasts for ever.

Of gatherings in the Glasgow Highlander's Institute to Young Farmer's gatherings above byres with the seating consisting of bales of straw,(preferrably with the jaggy side faced downwards) and attended posh Highland balls. From Arran and Skye to points in between and danced by the light of the peat fire flame. . .

In Edinburgh over the Easter holidays, John Lennon and his family would visit Aunt "Mater"'s family: "Most evenings we used to go up a hill just behind the house to visit a friend of the family, and they had a wind-up gramophone. John quite enjoyed that, even thought the music was mainly Jimmy Shand and his band. Still, it was music."(Mike Cadwallader, a cousin)
