A
Ceilidh is a traditional Gaelic social gathering, which usually
involves playing Gaelic folk music and dancing. It originated in
Ireland and Scotland, but is now common throughout the Irish and
Scottish Diaspora. Before discos and nightclubs, there were ceilidhs
in most town and village halls on Friday or Saturday nights; they
are still common today.
The
Scottish American Society of South Florida is a non-profit
organization dedicated to the furtherance of Scottish culture
through Scottish dance, music, and art. The organization holds many
