This book tells the inside story on the ancestor of much of America's folk- and country dancing. Take part in a ceilidh (a recently hip but completely traditional Scottish gathering of music, dance and drinking) through Lockhart's anecdotal style. Acknowledged as a classic in Scottish dancing circles around the world, now in an updated new edition with a foreword by the director of the Edinburgh Folk Festival. This is a book for everyone who loves dancing of every kind.
