In 2012 and 2016, Dunfermline Branch were asked to accompany a local church group to Orlova, in the Czech Republic. In 2012, the Branch provided the dancing for a fun Highland Games which included a large Dunfermline v Orlova tug of war - the dance represents travel to Orlova, the tug of war, the hands of friendship extended, the dancing and the races which also took place.
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.
