This is one of the Handbooks of European National Dances. The birth of the Scottish Country Dance Society (SCDS) came as the result of a meeting advertised in the Glasgow Herald on November 26, 1923, that urged all who were interested in Scottish Country Dance to attend. The SCDS determined to recreate, if possible, a real interest in Scottish dancing in its best form. Luckily, there were still many older people still living who knew how the dances should be done. These people provided accurate information about many dances and techniques. Jean C. Milligan was a driving force for decades in the Scottish Country Dance Society. In 1973, Miss Milligan was voted "Scotswoman of the Year." Aberdeen University conferred an Honorary Doctor of Law on her in 1977. Miss Milligan passed on in 1978. The first book was published by Miss Jean Callander Milligan and Mrs. Ysobel Stewart and contained detailed written instructions for those dances. The few dances that appeared regularly on programs were often an excuse for rowdy behavior. To ensure the standards already established by Miss Milligan, an examination for a teaching certificate was established. As the need for more and more teachers became apparent throughout the world, Miss Milligan and co-examiners started conducting these exams overseas. Miss Milligan taught general classes, prepared candidates for exams, and conducted examinations. Her passion for teaching was equaled by her passion for Scottish country dancing and she decided to retire earlier than necessary from her position at Jordanhill College so she could spend more of her energies with her dancers around the world.
