RE: Scottish Country Dancing VS Scottish Folk Dancing

Isn't the word 'Folk' more a european continent derivative?  'Folkedans' etc
which to me at least means 'traditional' - and isn't Scottish Country
Dancing just a style of Scottish Traditional Dancing?   Highland, Step,
Orkney etc being some of the others?

And when I say traditional, I don't necessarily mean that it is old and
unchanged - I am a firm believer that 'traditional' evolves.
