Discover one of the RSCDS’s most loved collections with Thirty Popular Dances, Volume 2, a beautifully curated selection of dances chosen by branches from around the world. This A4, 68‑page paperback includes a balanced mix of jigs, reels, and strathspeys, featuring much‑loved favourites such as The Highland Rambler, Cranberry Tart, Mairi’s Wedding, Shiftin’ Bobbins, The Gentleman, Culla Bay, The Dream Catcher, and many more.
Your purchase also includes two complimentary tracks, The Highland Rambler and The Bees of Maggieknockater, giving you an immediate musical taste of the volume’s energy and character. The full collection is accompanied by two CDs—one containing new recordings by James Coutts and his Scottish Dance Band, and the second featuring re‑released RSCDS archive recordings.
For dancers, teachers, and musicians, this volume serves as both a practical teaching tool and a rich source of repertoire, supported by additional learning material—including references to videos and features available in the RSCDS Learn sections.

I just wanted to say what a fascinating reading is the The Thirty Popular Dances Book 2. Tremendous amount of work. I think my favourite is the drawing of The Dream Catcher – innovative. And I’m just listening to the CD with James Coutts and the band. Great tempo. I’m looking forward to using it with my children’s class tonight. Please pass on my thanks to the committee and staff at Headquarters for the tremendous amount of work and time that has gone into the production of this. Doris Young, 2020
