Whale's Moo is a rock formation along the Moray coastline in Portknockie. The huge stack is connected to another formation by a sloping rock arch, variously described as a sinking ship, bow and fiddle or a whale's tail.  Variously called the Whale's Mouth, Whale's Moo, or Faal's Moo - it resembles the open mouth of a singing whale. 

The Whale's Moo is a cave which penetrates the buttress with openings on both the shore and seaward sides thus making a natural archway. A large pool to the right of the beach opening is the Whale's Moo Pot.

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8). 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.
