Blackness Castle stands on the south side of the River Forth four miles north-east of Linlithgow. It is also known as ‘The Ship that Never Sailed’ for its boat-like shape and was built in the 1400s for Sir George Crichton, Admiral of Scotland. 

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (4).

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.
