Physical Safety & Athletic Disclaimer

Scottish Highland Dancing is a high-intensity, physically grueling athletic activity that requires significant cardiovascular health and biomechanical precision. The technical descriptions and historical training methods documented within the Inver Glen Archive are for informational and research purposes only. They are not intended to replace professional, in-person instruction from a certified member of the Scottish Official Board of Highland Dancing (SOBA) or equivalent bodies.

Engaging in the physical practice of these historical techniques without proper warm-up or professional supervision can lead to serious injury, including but not limited to stress fractures, Achilles tendonitis, and ligament strain. The Inver Glen Archive is not liable for any physical harm resulting from the application of technical notes found on this site.

Historical Accuracy & Records Disclaimer

While our technical committee makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of the digitized competition results and historical narratives, many of these documents were transcribed from aged, physical ledgers that were often recorded in field conditions at regional Highland Games. As such, the data is provided "as is" and the Inver Glen Archive makes no warranties regarding the absolute completeness of the records. If you discover a technical discrepancy in our scoring data, please contact our heritage team for verification.

Non-Commercial & Educational Use

This archive is a non-profit, volunteer-led cultural project. The information provided is intended to benefit researchers, family historians, and students of Scottish heritage. Any mention of commercial entities or competitive results from the late 20th century is for historical context only and does not imply endorsement.
