I have taught exactly this dance many times as my misreading of Jack McConachie's dance "The Laird and the Lass". The first 16 bars are quite different than Jack's and rather easier.
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.
