| | Encyclopedia article on Scottish country dance [EncycloZine] |
| | Scottish country dancing or "SCD", as distinct from Old Tyme dancing, is very loosely governed throughout the world by the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS). | | | Scottish country dances themselves are made up of figures of varying length, to suit the phrasing of Scottish country dance tunes. | | | When country dancing was en vogue during the 18th century, large numbers of dances were written, most of which fell into disuse during the 19th century when more "modern" dances such as the quadrille, waltz, etc. became popular. |
