Mons Meg is Edinburgh's premier Rapper dance side, founded in September 2006.

Rapper is a form of linked (hilt and point) sword dancing which emerged from the mining communities of Northumberland and County Durham during the nineteenth century. Five dancers perform intricate figures while linked together by Rapper "swords", finishing with the swords tied together to form a star which is held aloft. You can find photographs and videos of us in our Gallery.

You will also find us on MySpace.

If you are interested in finding out more about Rapper and what we do then please explore the pages on this website. If you are a musician or interested in dancing with us then to find out more. We are always interested in musicians who are either experienced at playing for dancing or keen to learn. Dancers are also welcome to but please note that out ability to teach beginners is limited until at least autumn/winter 2008 so it would be helpful to know your level of experience.
