		Scottish country dancing, as distinct from Old Tyme dancing, is very loosely governed throughout the world by the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society (RSCDS).
		As the word "governed" implies, Scottish dancing (though a type of folk dancing) is still continuing to evolve, and the majority of dances currently in favour have been written more recently than in most folk traditions.
		Scottish country dances are categorised as reels, jigs, hornpipes or strathspeys; generally consist of two partner couples (one man and one lady - frequently informally danced with two ladies instead, one of whom dances as the "man"), incorporating two or more couples in sets (usually restricted to six couples unless for demonstration purposes).

	Scottish Country Dance
		New dances of this type, designed to go with Scots folk-tunes, were invented, and experimented with at aristocratic country-house parties; indeed, it is likely that many of the great houses had their individual dancing traditions between 1730 and 1780.
		The new dancing fashions, quadrilles, polkas, waltzes and galops, spreading to Scotland from continental Europe and England, are first noticed in the high society functions and public dances of the towns and villages.
		Dancing was still enjoyed upon the slightest excuse as of old, at weddings, fireside ceilidhs, Beltane, New Year, or simply on dry moonlight nights at some favourite part of the road or green.

		Rather, country dance might be described as a ritualized form of folk dancing, especially from the British Isles.
		Heys should usually be danced to a skip change (or skip) step rather than walked (or plodded); a common failing is to finish them ahead of the music.
		As with most forms of dance (other than the "let it all hang out" variety), an important ingredient of understanding country dance is understanding how to move -- what steps to take, when to take them, whether you take them alone or with a partner, and so on.
