Pinewoods Scottish Sessions Camp

A special Scottish Dance and Music workshop takes place this week in July in the beautiful woods of Plymouth, Massachusetts, at the historic Pinewoods Camp.

​

Pinewoods is a traditional dance and music camp located in a beautiful 25-acre pine and beech forest between Long Pond and Round Pond in Plymouth, Massachusetts. There are four large dance pavilions, rustic cabins and houses, two clear-water lakes for swimming and boating, an open-sided Dining Hall with beautiful views over the water, and a camphouse for various gatherings.   

​

The tartan was designed by Joel LaMarre, of the Salem Class, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Scottish dancing at Pinewoods: 1953 to 2003.

​

The colours used in this tartan respresent:

​

• White: for the clouds overhead and for the Saltire cross of St. Andrew, patron Saint of Scotland

• Blue: for the waters of Long Pond and Round Pond, and for the blue of the Scottish flag

• Azure: for the sky overhead on a perfect summer day at camp

• Black: for the ghillies on the dancers' feet and for the wood of the Highland Bagpipe that urges our steps in the dance and wakes us each morning

• Purple: for the thistle, an icon of Scotland

• Green: for the pine canopy overhead

• Yellow: for the three golden stripes that represent the Jubilee years 1953-2003
