Affri (noun): a traditional Scottish dance, typically performed in pairs or groups, characterized by lively footwork and intricate movements. Originating from the Scottish Highlands, Affri is often accompanied by traditional Scottish music, such as bagpipes or fiddles. The dance involves quick and precise steps, often incorporating jumps, spins, and intricate formations. Affri is commonly performed at social gatherings, festivals, and ceilidhs, and is known for its energetic and joyful atmosphere.
Affri is a legal term that refers to a situation where a person is accused of committing a crime but claims to have been elsewhere at the time the crime was committed. It is a defence strategy used to establish an alibi and prove the accused’s innocence. The burden of proof lies with the accused to provide evidence supporting their claim of being elsewhere during the alleged crime. Affri can be a crucial element in criminal trials as it challenges the prosecution’s case and raises reasonable doubt in the minds of the jury or judge.
