I love the music of Jimmy Shand's band and have danced the military two-step in Killowen hall many times in my youth. I would have liked to see more of the feet and the steps which I have long since forgotten. I enjoyed the video never-the-less.
can confirm country dancing is still mandatory in most scottish primary and high schools, i left high school in 2010 and it still happens in most schools today as part of P.E.
Highlight of the week in the 60's was either The White Heather Club or a selection of Scottish Tunes after the Radio Scotland News on a a Saturday Evening. Who remem bers that?
When I was a child I used to suffer bad headaches. The Doctors found out that it was because of my Dad constantly playing the music of Jimmy Shand. After I left home to work away my headaches disappeared.
From Canada, 2022: I hope this style of.dancing is being passed on to the younger generation of Scots. Alas, here, what used to be taught in the schools and a part of every country dance 50 years ago, seems to be going extinct.
