Scottish dance "Irish jig" with City Pipes

The scottish highland dance "Irish jig" is a humorous caricature and homage to Irish tap dance (a dancer in a red and green suit is an interpretation of an angry Irishman gesturing and frowning). If a woman or a girl dances an Irish jig, then this is either a distressed wife scolding her husband, or a woman who is tormented by leprechauns, or a washerwoman chasing mocking boys (or children in general) who have soiled her linen - showing a woman's fist symbolizes her desire to beat children , leprechauns or her husband. If it's a man or a boy dancing, it's a story about Paddy's leather pants, in which a careless washerwoman clutches Paddy's thin leather breeches while he swings his shillelagh in anger, looks at her and points with his fist, intending to hit her.
