At least considering how the Scots themselves honor and study the peculiarities of their culture. Every year in Edinburgh in July a separate ethnic festival, Dunedin Folk International Dance Festival, is held, dedicated directly to the Scottish dance tradition, where everyone can demonstrate their art.
