At a Scottish Country Dance

**Panache** · 19th December 06, 10:50 AM

Last night our Scottish Country Dance class had it's last session for the year. It was a dance and potluck. There was a live band and the class was told to dress up for the occasion. The Flame-Haired Celtic Amazon Goddess and I dressed up and went! Though we are still the newest members of the class we did pretty well. This was the first outing of my formal rig. Truth be told, I think in the future I will stick to just a nice renaissance faire / jacobite shirt.
I don't know how Hamish survived doing Highland Dance in his formalwear. Luckily it was very chilly outside so I would duck out between sets to cool off. Otherwise I would have sponteanously combusted. We both had a lot of fun and look forward to continued Scottish Country Dancing in the New Year.

Here are a few pictures:

The F-H.C.A.G. took a video of one of the dances but I am hesitant to put this up online because I didn't ask permission from everyone attending the dance.

Cheers

You both look maaaah-velous. Your group must be glad that the two of you joined...looks like they could use a little youth...not that maturity is a bad thing...

The jacket looks great, by the way.

Best

Super pics. I wish my wife and I could be young again - we used to so much enjoy our Scottish country dancing.

Looks like it was a lot of fun.

We have a group here in Memphis that meets on Friday evenigs. If I can ever get my wife over her lothing of kilts I'd like to join them.

Are you wearing a garter on your right side or is that some sort of knee brace? If that's a knee brace, okay, if not... Why man, Why?!

That's what I thought at first but as I looked at it I realized that it looks just like the kind of garters you'd wear with a dress uniform. Maybe it's just the angle or somethin'.
