Like in the Medieval Ages, the bagpipe is very popular in Scotland. Its sounds bring unforgettable shades into the national music.
As for the Scottish Highland Games, for many centuries have they served for men to find out who is stronger, smarter, faster and more skilled. Traditional dances are also performed by the people. They dance in companies (sets) of three-four pairs. Attention is paid to the legs’ movements and the rotation of the pairs.
