Inscribed to Ruth Cheney, an enthusiastic member of the St Margaret’s Ilkley Scottish Country Dance class, who sadly passed away in July 2015.  She was formerly a professional viola player, and her spirit was lifted by the performance of traditional music by such fiddlers as Keith Smith and Alasdair Fraser.

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.
