The Carnforth Collections Volume 1

Publication Date:  14 July 2026

The Carnforth Collections brings together a much-loved series of Scottish country dances into one carefully produced volume, making this established repertoire newly accessible to dancers, teachers, and clubs.

This new combined edition (A5 format) gathers all 27 dances from the first three collections into a single, practical reference volume. It preserves the original character and charm of the dances while presenting them in a clear, consistent format designed for modern teaching, learning, and social dancing.

The dances themselves are widely appreciated for their musicality, flow, and enjoyment on the floor, with many already well established as favourites within the Scottish country dance repertoire. This edition has been carefully prepared to retain the integrity of the originals while improving clarity and usability for today’s dancers.

More than a simple compilation, The Carnforth Collection is a celebration of shared tradition—of creativity, generosity, and community within Scottish country dancing—and an opportunity to ensure these dances continue to be enjoyed for years to come.
