The Scotland County Highland Games is proud to include Highland Dance competitions as part of our event on Saturday. It is always a treat to see the precision and beauty of these dances performed by dancers of all ages and from throughout the United States (and sometimes Canada) who compete at our event. All dancing events are sanctioned by and conducted under the rules and regulations of SCOTDANCE USA.
