Dance devised by Ruth MacInnes and Peter Jamieson to mark the occasion of Frank Stephen’s 70th birthday, celebrated on 2nd August 2019 with a dance at Munlochy Hall.
Music selected by Joy Bisset.
Notes: bars 9–24 are essentially modified Mairi’s wedding reels, with the 1s starting slightly advanced and then dancing a similar path to that danced in Australian Ladies. Corners must clear the centre of the dance promptly to allow this, so twirls and hand pats are not recommended.
