Beginning

Do we need to distinguish SCD from Old Tyme dancing right at the beginning of the article? Would it be appropriate to move this distinction to later in the article or remove it all together? Currently the article begins "Scottish country dancing or "SCD", as distinct from Old Tyme dancing"... I'm new to this so thought I would ask rather than make a change myself... especially as I am confused as to what "Old Tyme dancing" refers to. --Clay1039 04:33, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

I think you're right. The »Old Tyme dancing« in question includes couple dances as done at ceilidhs, like the Britannia Two-Step, Pride of Erin Waltz, Eva Three-Step, most of which were invented at the turn of the 20th c., i.e., not that old. I don't think many people will come to this page from somewhere about Old Tyme dancing. Anselm Lingnau 21:46, 04 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Can we get a picture for this page??? It seems to me that we have a lot of good article text (way to go everone!) and now the page would really be improved by having a picture. There are a lot of pictures on the internet if someone wanted to try to get permission to use one... Or I have some pictures (mostly my friends and/or myself) of Scottish Country Dance, but I am not sure how to go about using them... presumably I would have to start by asking my friends if they want their picture on the internet??? And I am not sure that they do. Maybe someone more experienced then me can tackle this one...--Clay1039 20:06, 11 July 2005 (UTC)

Its a decent article and here are some suggestions for further improvement. Needs in-line references. Pls use British English spellings. Might be helpful to explain 'SCD' first time it is used in the main text. Perhaps not everyone would agree, but some references to its impact through other media e.g. 'The White Heather Club', 'The General Danced at Dawn' etc. would broaden the scope.
