Step dancing is often performed at Cèilidhs. The style is exciting, percussive footwork, danced in hard soled shoes to music played at a particularly tempo on bagpipes, whistle, fiddle or puirt-a-beul mouth music. Dancers beat their heels, toes and feet in as many ways as possible and imaginable, keeping time with the rhythms of the music in Strathspey, reel and jig time. There are many steps that can be learned passed on through family generations.

Fish And Chips Anstruther East Neuk Of Fife Scotland
Tour Scotland video of Fish and Chips in a Scottish Fish and Chip Shop in the fishing village of Anstruther, East Neuk of Fife. Fish and chips became a common meal among the working classes in Scotland as a consequence of the rapid development of trawl fishing in the North Sea, and the development of railways which connected the ports to major industrial cities during the second half of the 19th century, which meant that fresh fish could be rapidly transported to the heavily populated areas.
