There is no Highland Dance older or better known than the Sword Dance, or Ghillie Callum. The Sword Dance is the ancient dance of war of the Scottish Gael and is said to date back to King Malcolm Canmore (Shakespear’s MacBeth). Tradition says the original Ghillie Callum was a Celtic Prince who was a hero of mortal Combat against one of MacBeth's Chiefs at the Battle of Dunsinane in 1054. He is said to have crossed his own bloody claymore (the two-handed broadsword of Scotland) and crossed it over the bloodier sword of the defeated Chief and danced over them both in exultation. This dance of exultation became a tradition among the highland warriors, and in subsequent battles, clansman would cross their Swords and dance around them in the same way. In addition to being a test of skill and agility, it was believed that if they could complete the dance without touching the swords, it was a good Omen that they would be victorious in the coming battle. However to touch or displace the swords was a bad omen and was indicative of losses or even defeat. While originally performed by men, today it's performed by both men and women.
