Ceilidh is a Gaelic word meaning ‘a visit’ or ‘a gathering’. Historically a ceilidh would be held in a kitchen, a bothy, or anywhere else where people might gather. Folks would entertain one another during the long Scots winter nights (and in summer too) with storytelling, jokes, riddles, songs, tunes and dancing. Nowadays the above is called a Kitchen Ceilidh.
