RSCDS Publications (Books and other printed media)
Detailed below are the books of instructions for dances, most with printed music, which have been published by The Royal Scottish Country Dance Society over many years. Book 1 was published in 1924.
The individual books of dances are individually referenced to related recordings in the dance query index accessible through the sidebar.
The Society's books are revised periodically for clarification and to reflect current terminology. A new cycle of revision has begun but no revised books have yet been published. As revised books come on stream they will be clearly marked as such below. Please note, however, that this is a long-term project and it may be a number of years before any particular book is re-issued.
