A \u2018Ceilidh\u2019 is simply a Scottish Party. — Music, dancing, singing and a great deal of FUN are enjoyed. We often invite special guests from other Societies. But all are welcome to come and enjoy the entertainment. We usually have at least four Ceilidhs every year \u2013 they are all different!
All the Ceilidhs take place in The Scottish Hall. Here\u2019s a song about them:<\/em>
\u201cLet\u2019s have a Ceilidh<\/em>
Come with me
Dance to the music<\/em>
The merry, merry music
Come let us make the rafters ring
Let\u2019s have a good old Highland Fling\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
