The [[Branle]] '''Scottish''' (''Branle d'Ecosse'') is found in [[Orchesography]] by [[Thoinot Arbeau]]. There are a couple of pieces by [[Estienne du Tertre]] with the same title, but they do not seem to fit this choreography.

==Steps Used==

* [[Double left crossing|Double left]] ('''DLx''')
* [[Double right crossing|Double right]] ('''DRx''')
* [[Single left crossing|Single left]] ('''SLx''')
* [[Single right crossing|Single right]] ('''SRx''')
* [[Pied en l'air gauche]] or kick left ('''KL''')
* [[Pied en l'air droit]] or kick right ('''KR''')
* [[Saute]] ('''Sa''')
* [[Capriole]] ('''Cap''')

==Choreography==

As with all branles, this dance is performed in a line of people holding hands or, if enough people are present, a circle. It is not necessary for the dancers to be paired into partners.

The verse and chorus alternate until such time as the musicians decide to stop.

===Verse===

DLx DRx<br>
SLx SRx<br>
Repeat

===Chorus===

DLx SRx<br>
SLx DRx

DLx SRx<br>
KL KR Sa Cap
