About Us
Formed in 2015, the Edinburgh Scottish Dancers exist to promote the social aspect of Scottish dancing through performance, education and social engagement. Although operating predominantly in Edinburgh, our artistes have performed locally, nationally and internationally. We are fortunate to count pipers, Highland dancers, musicians and callers among our number as well as traditional Scottish country dancers.
The social aspect of Scottish dancing is at the heart of the group's ethos and we are keen to help groups and visitors experience this. We understand that flexibility is key in ensuring the success of your event and we can tailor our offering to suit the size, scale and importantly the budget of your event. We are as happy helping a couple preparing for a wedding ceilidh with some friends as we are performing in front of hundreds with a full band at a more formal engagement.
Get in touch with us today to discuss your requirements.
Whatever you are looking for, be it a piper, some highland or country dancing at an event, a formal performance, some casual participation or something different for you to try when visiting Scotland, we will be able to help you out and leave you with lasting memories of one of the great traditions of Scotland.
Our team are the current holders of four awards from the Dumfries and District Music Festival, including trophies for the best mixed team performance and best display. The team achieved 'distinction' grade or above in each of the classes they entered, a great testament to the talents and skills of all the dancers. The team were also successful at the Newcastle Festival of Scottish Country Dancing where they scooped the best mixed team, best men's team and the overall trophy for the highest score. Competitions and regular training ensures our dancers perform at their best whenever they represent the Edinburgh Scottish Dancers. Videos of the team in action can be seen on our Youtube channel
