The Scottish Ceilidh is known throughout the world as a time when people come together to perform, dance and have fun. Music is at the heart of these events, whether it be for dancing to or just to listen to and tap your toe.

The Strathspey, the Highland Schottische, the Dashing White Sergeant and of course, The Eightsome Reel are just some of the dances that are played here, not only by the traditional Scottish Dance Band but also by the enormous sound of the massed fiddles.
