Champion Scottish dancers competing in the Highland Fling during 2022 Ballater Highland Games

Competitors in the Highland Fling, Scottish Highland dance adult competition, during the 2022 Ballater Highland Games. These were held at Ballater in Deeside, Aberdeenshire, Scotland on Thursday 11th August 2022. The dancers included Hamish McInnes from Australia, we think Molly Smith behind him in red and Michelle Gordon in the blue, both from Aberdeenshire and all are Champion Highland dancers.
The Highland Fling is one of the most famous Scottish dances performed at competitions and championships throughout the world. It is said to have been inspired by the sight of a stag jumping around a hillside. The dancers movements; the arms held aloft like antlers, the feet dancing from side to side, the body turning around, all suggest the stag's playing.
