Corryvrechan were awarded first place in the RSCDS Newcastle Scottish Dance Festival on 23 Feb 2008 for their innovative display. Dances are David Slaters' Highland Reel, The Muckle Wheel and Wayward Roots. See http://www.corryvrechan.org.uk for more info including details of their Concert in October 2011
A great show - most entertaining and what a lot of practice involved - I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, by no stretch of the imagination could you call it Scottish Country Dancing; nothing remotely like it so don't think for one moment that this is the real thing. As I said though - most entertaining and I have a great admiration for the effort that went into it.

A long time ago I was a guest at a Scottish Wedding and they did a similar dance. I believe my host said it was a Scottish Wheel ?????? It was not something you could do without practicing a lot!

a very intricate display, although not sure if its Scottish Country Dancing. The quality of the Highland Dancing was not that good, with only 2 of the men dancing to a decent standard. The Irish Dancing 7 step was also not done that well. However as a peice of entertainment it has alot of merit. As I havent seen any of the others I cant comment on whether it should have won, but it certainly was eyecatching

Absolutely beautiful. But this is not dancing that normal people can just learn without a lot of rigorous training.
