@@revjamesgraham1 Hello James, I was a little more than just a highland dancer myself. I was blessed to dance before the Queen at the age of 12 in a command performance. Ranked #3 in the world back then, but that was a lifetime ago, now just getting up each morning is a blessing.
@@johneBGood yes, my youtube friend, my mornings are getting harder, the hips and the feet ache now, but I would not change a thing. Lucky you to have danced for the Queen!!!!!!!!
The sword dance is an ancient cultural tradition of the Scotland, demonstration of strength, skill, and agility. The bagpipe is an instrument dating back 5000 years, the Romans recorded its use in Scotland. For my part, I have nothing but respect for these gentlemen, who represent their warrior bloodline and traditions that are their cultural identity.
To be alive in a world where folk art forms such as this exist is in itself a beautiful thing…TH-cam suddenly gets weird and wonderful sometimes!!! ❤😍
Well said. Don’t know how I’ve ended up here but the first comment I read sums up what I was thinking better than I could.
@@richardjames9091 glad you stopped by, hello Richard…
AMAZING CULTURE and AMAZING DANCE!
Proud of my Scottish Heritage.
Me too, even though it took quite a few years to uncover it.
That looked fun.
Great. It’s nice to see a sword dance. You don’t seem to see them so often nowadays. Wonderfully done.
Love this!! ❤
More sir, please❤
Absolute fabulous Scottish folk history truly a marvel

Perfection - male highland dancing
When I was learning Highland dancing, our group was mainly male. We were older, and had to teach ourselves from the books, but we did OK.
Fantastic !!
I loved it!!
Wonderfull👏👏👏
Can I have one?

Good dancers--who are they?

Tune your pipes.
I prefer it when the lasses do the dance
As a Scottish dancer, I would have to say that this was the worst Scottish dancing that I have ever seen. Sorry guys
yes but still a little entertaining, I am a champion highland dancer and yes I agree but still....

Men in skirts swearing, dancing and playing with knives. Now Ice seen it all.
KILTS, our National costume, get your facts right Cynthia Wilson.
Aye, and men who know to lay their swords down instead of battle, we Scots know when to protect our land and when to dance, that makes us resilient,

They are not skirts.
