Devised in honour of Hugh Reekie on the 25th Anniversary of the entertainment Group of the RSCDS Ottawa Branch. Deviser states: "Music: The Blue Mess Jacket or other suitable strathspey" which seems to point to a recording, not a tune.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (4). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.
