I've been doing SCD since I was just a nipper. (We got taught ceilidh and SCD dancing in P.E. every winter.)

I've only really got into it in the last while when I've built enough confidence to realise that even if I am not a great dancer I can learn.

Plus, DANCE CARDS!

Where else in this day and age can you get dance cards and ask pretty ladies if you might dance the next with them?!

I don't dance much when I am in Glasgow, but when I am in Boise I dance with The Thistle and Ghillies Scottish Country Dancers.
I'm hoping that with a lot of practice they will let me join the Demo team.

SCD really is a great workout and it is such a good, fun, social experience.

Part of what I enjoy is the camaraderie. A group of people from all walks of life really enjoying this one thing and wanting to excel at it as well as just have fun with it.
Plus, the ladies are always dressed beautifully and the men always look dashing. Which is fun.

I don't actually have any pictures whatsoever of me dancing, but I did just get this wonderful picture of my beautiful wife dancing at the Portland RSCDS gathering last weekend.

She's the one with the lovely flowing hair.
