  • Dance the Highland Fling
    Dance the Highland Fling Liina Flynn | 21st July 2011 When I was growing up, my Scottish grandmother taught me how to dance the Highland Fling. With arms flung above my head, I hopped on my feet moving one leg behind the other as I chanted “shed, behind, before, behind”. The footsteps of the dance were taught to me in an old chant that explained a pattern of fabric weaving and helped me to remember which steps came next. One theory about the Highland Fling is that it originated as a dance of triumph at the end of a battle; another says it was danced on top of a shield before battle, to ward away evil spirits. So, with highland dancing and its militaristic origins on my mind, I took my tartan heart and my (sort of) nimble feet and Scottish country dancing enthusiasts Judy Cook and Andrew Ross. went to learn more about Scottish dancing. When I arrived at a Scottish country dancing class in Lismore, rather than launching into a solo Highland Fling, I was prepared to take part in a group dancing lesson with guided instructions. I had heard about the formal Scottish dance „The Gay Gordons‟, but dancing instructor Judy Cook tells me it‟s a pretty ordinary dance and closer to ballroom dancing than Scottish country dance. Instead, tonight we‟ll be doing dances like Galloping Carousel, Campbell‟s Frolic, Dancing Bees, and Good Hearted Glasgow. Scottish country dancing usually requires at least six or eight people to be able to form a set, but while we‟re waiting for other people to arrive, Judy wants to teach us Domino Five, a dance that only requires five people.

  • The Dinnie Steens Or the Stones of Dee
    The Dinnie Steens or the Stones of Dee “…and took our second rest close to the Bridge of Potarch where we had tea at the little hotel on the right bank of the river‖ 1 It is a strange thought that the celebrated author of the cult “Dracula” novel had like so many others, visited that iconic bridge of Potarch and one can only assume that when Bram Stoker visited in the 1890’s he may well have been told the story of those two massive immovable stones. Unlike Stoker, many others have visited to view these stones as a pilgrimage of strength that has no equal. What can be written about the Dinnie Stones, the most notorious and indeed best known lifting stones in the world of strength? The stones mean so much too so many and their iconic status is reflective of their popularity amongst all strength disciplines. Whereas many who visit Scotland to tour and test their mettle with other known stones of strength; there are many who are simply satisfied in attempting the Dinnie Stones and adding their individual name to the short list of those who have been fortunate enough to have achieved an accepted “Dinne Lift”. The Dinnie Steens with the singular authority on the stones - Mr David P Webster OBE The stones have invoked argument, discussion and emotion with regards to what is and to what is not acceptable and much rhetoric has been written regarding previous known lifts, 1 Page 138 Mystery of the Sea. Bram Stoker (1902) comparisons and judgements have abounded and quite simply a book on its own could in fact be drawn over the attempts on these stones.

  • History of the Skye Games
    The Isle of Skye Highland Games History of the Skye Games By ROGER HUTCHINSON The first ever Skye Games were held on the dry, bright Thursday of 6 September 1877. A weather pattern was established on this auspicious day, which would continue (with one or two rule-proving exceptions!) for over a century, on the Wednesday before the Games it rained incessantly, but the day of the Games dawned clear and bright, and perfect sunshine illuminated the spectacle from dawn to dusk. The Skye Games were established by the great and good of the island in this heyday of high Victorian confidence. For many years the Skye Gathering Ball in Portree had been an essential part of the Highland country house itinerary, a couple of sleepless nights of reels and kilts and sparkling gowns, enjoyed by those who retired afterwards to the lodges and stately homes of Skye: those same buildings which now, in their later incarnation as hotels, still bed and board the visitors to the Gathering and the Games. In the summer of 1877 a meeting took place of elevated persons. Lord Macdonald of the Isles and MacLeod of MacLeod buried past differences; Captain Macdonald of Waternish, Mr Macdonald of Skeabost, Mr Robertson of Greshornish, Mr Lachlan MacKinnon of Duisdale, Mr Stewart of Duntulm, Mr MacDonald of Tormore, and brothers Alexander Macdonald and Harry Macdonald, both of Portree, all assembled and formed a committee with the expressed purpose of giving Skye an annual Highland Games to match those of Inverness and Oban. Of this assembly, it was Harry Macdonald of Viewfield in Portree whose family would become most associated with the Games.
