The term Highland dance or Highland dancing is used today to refer to a style of athletic solo dancing which developed in the Highlands of Scotland. It is strongly influenced by Irish dance, which was brought to the Highlands by Gaelic settlers from Ireland. Highland dance evolved into its current form during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in the context of competitions at public events (namely Highland games), where it is often performed to the accompaniment of Highland bagpipe music. Highland dancers wear specialized shoes called ghillies. Highland dance has been subject to many influences from outside the Highlands. For example, it has been heavily influenced by the urban aesthetics of the patrons and judges of dance competitions since the nineteenth century. Highland dance should not be confused with Scottish country dance.
