Think of Scottish Country Dancing as a cross between square or contra dance and ballet.  It's a modern form of the country dancing popular in England and Scotland in the 18th century. The dances developed over many centuries as itinerant dance masters traveled from clan to clan teaching dances.   Dances are of three types, distinguished by their tempos: lively reels, moderately fast jigs, and slow strathspeys.
