The recommended recording for this dance is The Rakish Highlandman, which is a good steady pace. 

The inspiration for this dance came whilst dancing Roselath Cross (two half Crown Triangles) at an Afternoon Tea   Dance in the summer of 2012 amidst the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations, when the question was asked,   “What’s half a Crown?”.   Of course the other answer is 2 shillings and sixpence and so, if the 6 bar movement in bars 27-32 (and again in bars 33-38) is given the name ‘a Shilling’, the alternative name for this dance is “2 Half Crowns and a Florin”!

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.
