The Scottish Branle (Branle d'Ecosse) is found in Orchesography by Thoinot Arbeau, which contains two Scottish branles. There are a couple of pieces by Estienne du Tertre with the same title, but they do not seem to fit these choreographies.

Steps Used

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.
