This elegant dance performed to a set of waltzes builds on a rich yet relatively little known tradition of Scottish step dancing as maintained within the frame of annual St. Andrew's Summer School of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society The flower of thistle is reported to have been the symbol of Scotland since 1470s.
