It was actually danced AFTER a victory as part of the celebrations. The final insult to the enemy after gathering their weapons from the field was to dance on their swords, the warriors showing of their dexterity to the young women by not touching the blades. If you look carefully, the formation of the hands, the fingers shaped into points and the prancing of the feet, are meant to imitate the behaviour of the victorious stag bellowing his triumph and prancing around his harem after defeating a rival.

@@macarchers Como Escocesa y ciudadana británica, yo te digo que no. Los paIses que costituyen el Réino Unido (Inglaterra, Escocia, Paìs de Gales e Irlanda del Norte) tienen todos su propia cultura. La palabra "británica" sóle tiene sentido en distintos contextos, pero no en cuanto a la música y la dansa tradicional. Y la música, los kilts, el diseño de las empuñaduras de espada, tanto como la dansa de espadas son todos de orígen de la cultura gaélica que se situaba sólo en Escocia. El pueblo gaélico nunca era británico. Era un puelbo distinto desde los tiempos antiguos. Lo que vees aquí es la tradición de los Escoceses que se ha mantenido en Canada en los regiones donde habia una inmigración masiva de Escoceses. Son los de descendencia escocesa que mantienen su antigua cultura en Canada, Australia, Nueva Zelanda y los EE.UU. En el Réino Unido son sólo los regimentos escoceses que mantienen una banda de gaitas.

I think Scottish Highland dancing was devised as exercise for fighting men. They needed stamina. Wouldn't surprise me if they did sword dances in bare feet. However, country dancing is social and dances could be devised by a regiment dancing without women, if there weren't any around. E.g "Reel of the 51st division" was devised in a German POW camp.

In Mark Twain's book on the Mississippi, he has an adverse opinion of Scott's fondness for the aristocracy. He's right, but nevertheless I like "Young Lochinvar", "Jock o' Hazeldean", and at the age of six or seven I learned to sing the justifiably bloodthirsty "MacGregor's Gathering".

In case anyone doubts how soldiers wore the kilt, consider this. When I was young in Glasgow, men in kilts were not allowed on the top deck of buses or trams. And commanding officers had a mirror on the floor to check soldiers were in correct attire. Also, because the kilts were heavy, they didn't fly up in an average wind. And if a guy didn't close his legs when sitting with his regiment in front of the Queen, she would get an eyeful - he'd get the cooler and a bollocking!!!

There is the famous story of the two ladies who noticed a kilted fellow who'd had enough usquabae to have lain by the roadside to sleep. One says to the other "D'ye suppose he's regimental?" response "We could look if we're careful" It turns out that he is, and they tie a ribbon round IT. He wakes up, needs to urinate, inspects the apparatus, and addresses it "I dinna ken what ye've been at, but I'm proud ye won first prize."

I have done so, on occasion. I'm pretty sure it is the regimental tradition. One Edinburgh Festival, on the esplanade of the Castle, there was a kilted activity which caused some of the kilt hems to flip up, and a few lads ran from the sides to flip them down again.
