Aqua-ceilidh causes a splash in Edinburgh
Edinburgh Leisure hosted three free ceilidhs on 30 November in honour of St Andrew’s Day, but with a difference – each dance was held in one of its swimming pools.
Taking place at The Royal Commonwealth Pool, Drumbrae Leisure Centre and Portobello Swim Centre, Edinburgh’s first ever Aqua-Ceilidhs included a twist on old reeling favourites, such as ‘Splashing White Sergeant’, ‘Drip the Willow’ and ‘Spray Gordons’ with tartan clad callers keeping the aqua dancers in line.
The leisure trust’s Michael Pinkerton said: "We hoped to bring something that little bit different to this year's St Andrews Day celebrations, but also to remind people that ceilidh dancing - and, of course, swimming - can be great fun and rewarding for all ages.
"All three aqua-ceilidhs were a resounding success with over 100 reelers, aged from 11 to 87, making a big splash for Scotland."
