...........................So, for me, it seems natural to consider SCD  to 
be part of the  overall British folk dance scene.  One difference is this: it 
was easy  to do "English" country  dances on grass, but it's really hard to do

I've often suspected that English Country dancers were  dancing while on 
Grass,  probably best for Scottish Country Dancers  to stick to Whiskey!
