"Highland Fling" is a chromolithograph trading card produced by the Kinney Brothers Tobacco Company in 1889. It depicts a woman in a traditional Scottish kilt and dress, performing the Highland Fling, a lively Scottish dance. The card is part of the "National Dances" series issued by Kinney Brothers. The artwork is a fine example of chromolithography, a printing technique used in the late 19th century to reproduce color images. It is currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
