Talk:Scottish sword dances

Content to be merged
Hi all

The following content is from the Gillidh Callum article, which had an AfD that was closed as merge and redirect. You can find the history for attribution purposes at: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gillidh_Callum&action=history

Rather than me just butchering this content into the "History" section (which is what would ultimately happen - a butchery), leaving here for an interested editor to incoprtate as desired.

Thanks in advance, Daniel (talk) 04:36, 24 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Gillidh Callum was a figure in Scottish apocryphal folk belief, said to be Noah's bagpiper. According to these beliefs, Noah, upon first drinking fermented wine, crossed two vines and danced above them while Gillidh Callum played the bagpipes, thus inventing the ancestor of the Highland sword dance (gillie callum).
