In an exciting new development destined to take the folk world by storm, new and compelling evidence for the spread of the original Manx Scallop Dancing from its place of origin to the rugged coastline of Finisterre, Brittany has recently come to light.

Historically, the Isle of Man and Brittany have age old links through their Celtic culture and language and their love of shellfish. Fishing communities from both areas have developed a strong friendship over the centuries.  Indeed, the fact that the two largest areas of European shellfish husbandry are off the Manx coast and in the seas around Finisterre, has developed a spirit of co-operation rather than conflict between the two peoples.
