All about #HD
The Highland Dancer is the Original Funky and Trend setting Trademarked Brand for Highland Dancers worldwide.
Originating from the home of Highland Dance in Bonnie Scotland, The Highland Dancer has been leading the way since 2015.
HD’s reputation for great quality, original designs is what gives our brand and company a strong reputation for being THE brand to wear, with of course outstanding customer service and attention to detail.
...........................
Where it all began…
One night in 2014 a friend online messaged Nikki and said, ‘Why don’t you design a Highland Dance brand, there is no one out there doing that kind of thing’.
The answer was ‘OK, yes, why not’ and that was how HD was born.
At the start we were called ‘The Highland Dance Gift Co’… but within weeks we became The Highland Dancer.
So, overnight, the Facebook page was set up with some onscreen mock ideas for clothes and gifts and then marketed direct into the Highland Dance social media pages.
We had an instant hit with our first online sales from local Dunoon and our first stall at the Isle of Bute Highland Dance Festival in the Pavilion Rothesay in April 2015
Realising quickly that there was a market for HD and the people and dancers supported us and liked the ideas, HD continued to grow to develop its products, design and website. While always focusing to build up a strong social media presence on Facebook and Instagram.

"Recommends The Highland Dancer. 21 August 2018 Just received another package from the Highland Dancer, this time a hoodie for my son who is a piper! He is competing at Cowal for first time and didn’t want him feeling left out as dancers have their hoodies. So at the last minute I asked if a hoodie could be made up before we leave, fantastic, fast service and hoodie is just what we wanted! Had a number of things made from them and always happy with them! Definitely recommend!"
