Devised 25 July, 2010. Given to Xiaowen Yu (daughter of Monica). The first 16 bars are taken from a a dance devised by Iain Boyd which in turn uses an idea by Alec Hay.

Recommended music is “An’ Thou Wert My Only Dear” preferably played ABABAB, and there is no recording of this with only 3 repetitions.
The RSCDS recording of Book 21 by John Renton and his band, track 3 is an excellent 8 by 32 version. Acceptable alternative music would be “Balcomie House” as recorded by e.g. The Lothian Band (“In Strict Tempo”, track 1) or The Irvine Valley SCD Band (Favourite SCD’s Vol 3, Teacher’s Choice, track 11)

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.

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.
