The “Border style” poussette in this dance seems to refer to "A Complete Guide to Scottish Country Dancing” by Allie Anderson and John Duthie (McDougall’s Educational Co. Ltd), where it is called “Poussette Second Form” (pages 30–31). In contrast to the standard form, in this poussette the men begin with the right foot. Apparently, at the time of writing (circa 1960), this method of dancing the poussette was danced in the South-East Borders Counties.
