Devised by Anne Thorn for Mrs Mary McIntosh – an inspirational teacher of Scottish Country Dancing who always tried to find the best recorded music for the dances she taught.

Suggested alternative music: recorded music such as “Sarona” (J.S.Skinner), “Annie Laurie” (Lady J Scott), “The Lea Rig(Trad)”, “Rose Acre (J.S.Skinner)”, “The Cradle Song” (J.S.Skinner)

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.

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.
