I was asked the other day why we had contradances here and not some manner of English or Scottish folk dances. I had no idea why this was so, so I asked our Librarian if he knew. He didn’t know why so he said he’d read the Estate Journals and see what might us give a clue.
It says something that I assumed that they were just the commonplace folk dance in Scotland, but then I’ve never called for any dances except those here. Here’s Iain’s explanation.
