From the comments on the Edinburgh <<https://youtu.be/-j4K2DaVSHg|youtube video>>:
*This dance was devised by Tim Bolton-Maggs, RSCDS Edinburgh, for Sid Taylor who was intrigued to hear about the Edinburgh Gay Gordons so commissioned one of her folk music friends to write 'The Pink Triangle'. Sadly, Sid died of cancer before the dance was premièred at the Gay Gordons' ceilidh in December 2012. The original tune, “<<ddt:#13006>>” was written by <<ddp:#11016>>.*

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