“Heel for Heel” - The story of Scottish dance

A paperback book by Cindy Gray, available by click the link above.

Heel for Heel is a joyful celebration of all the genres from the centuries-old Highland Dancing to the evolving reels, Scottish Country Dancing, ceilidhs and Step Dance that spread throughout Scotland and beyond. The story mirrors the delight of the guests at ‘Mairi’s Wedding’ going ‘heel for heel’, whether in a boisterous jig or a graceful Strathspey.
