A History of Scottish Kilts
Scottish kilts are known as “The National Dress of Scotland” and are a highly recognized form of dress throughout the world. Kilts have deep cultural and historical roots in the country of Scotland and are a sacred symbol of patriotism and honor for a true Scotsman. The word "kilt" is a derivation of the ancient Norse word, kjilt, which means pleated, and refers to clothing that is tucked up and around the body.

RSCDS Aberdeen Kandahar Reel
This is a demonstration of the Kandahar Reel, which took place In Aberdeen at the start of Dance Scottish Week. A Published Copy of the dance is available from www.rscds.org and www.soldierscharity.org priced £4. £2.00 goes to ABF The Soldiers Charity (Scotland).
The Kandahar Reel is a new country dance devised by two serving army officers of The Black Watch as a tribute to their fallen comrades. They devised it in September 2009 while on active service in the Kandahar Region of Afghanistan. Elements of the dance to watch out for include the "hands across" which symbolise both the Chinook Helecopter and the single blades of a Black Hawk . These figures are normally done once round in four bars. As soldiers are constantly exhorted to give 150% these figures are done one and a half times in the same number of bars! Other elements to watch out for include; team work and offering a helping hand as they board the helecopter. It is a challenging dance. Enjoy! The Music Is Played By Colin Dewar and his Scottish Dance Band www.colindewar.com/ |
