Scottish Sword Dances Edit
There are many theories surrounding the origins and backstory of the Scottish Sword Dance (Gilie Chalium). One possible theory is it originated in the time when Macbeth (Shakespeare) takes place, with the character King Malcom the 3rd when he killed a rival chieftain and proceeded to celebrate the victory by dancing over both men's swords. Another theory is that Gillie Chalium would be danced prior to battle and if the dancers foot touched a sword it was an ill omen and the men would lose the battle.
