Suggested tune: The Forth Bridge by W. Blythe. This dance was devised in June 2014 on the night of a full moon when the beginner’s class only had three dancers plus the instructor. The class had been learning Delvine Side; I think the inspiration is clear. A student, Jodi McEdward, coined the name. It is written as a 6x32 strathspey so that the standing couple always defines the set during the double figures of eight. If numbers do not allow, by all means, dance it as an 8x32 strathspey.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (6). 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.
