'StateBlock' object has no attribute 'is_code_block'
In memory of Margaret Kendall, dancer, teacher and artist.  Margeret loved Forvie in Aberdeenshire.  This nature reserve has a vast expanse of sand dunes, beneath which lies a village buried in a sandstorm over 400 years ado.

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (3). 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.
