You are correct on the Scottish bit. Men used to dance the different dances as ways to show their strength to the Clan Chiefs. They would also dance the dances before they went into battle or after a battle was finished.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but the difference between Irish and Scottish dance seems to be the Irish is more of a high step, kicking and step dancing, Scottish doesn't seem to have the high step involved as much, what are the other differences?
Scottish is usually done in sets made up of 2-5 couples. The number of steps used are not that many. Occasionally some "flair" steps are used instead of a traditional setting step. As the dance progresses, each couple is given a chance to be the "first couple" (who are the main characters). In Irish dancing it's more independent high steps/arm movements (think Riverdance). Highland Dancing is the scottish version of the Irish (think sworddance)
One word: WOW! That was amazing! Good job! It looked so good! You were all amazing! I was just wondering what the song's called, because it is amazing!
wowweeee :D thats amazing! i'm a highland dancer and i have been all my life and i have NEVER seen choreography as good as that ! well done :D:D:D:D all the dancers are amazing and the music is fantastic!
These vids. are cool!! I like to watch danceing, and 100 times more to actually dance it!! My life would be great if it was like a big dance show!!!!!! But Im just a crazy scottish dancer.
Haha, I live on the isle of skye and the local dance company is called SkyeDance.. as I clicked onto the video I was like 'whaaat we never did a dance like that!' lol

Well, it has some similarities, but as a whole, Irish and Highland are both distinctly different.
