Misprint. The dance description in the Highlander Collection vol 1 says that this is a Strathspey, but the music is a Jig.   ETF 30 oct 2011

Malcolm Brown writes on the Strathspey List:

"The dance was first published in the Vancouver Branch Ruby Collection in
2005, where the accompanying tune is Gentle Shepherd.

It was then published in Simon's own collection of dances as part of the
Branxholm Hall Suite / Lady in Red Collection in 2007, where again the tune
is Gentle Shepherd, and where Simon says "the dance was inspired by, and
written to the beautiful tune The Gentle Shepherd as recorded on St Andrews
Ball by Ron Kerr", and where it is also described as a "32 bar slow jig"."

(As slow jigs go, the Ron Kerr recording in question is not particularly slow.)

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (5). 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.

Recordings whose titles are in italics are not explicitly linked to this dance but have been identified by the database based on the type, bar count, and recommended tune(s) of the dance.
