"To celebrate the 21st Anniversary of the Elizabeth Scottish country Dance Group."

The instructions do not specify which shoulder to pass to start the reel of four in bars 25-32 but as it is preceded and followed by LH turns, LSh reel would flow better.

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (5). 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.
