"Dance written for our gentle Scottish Dancing friend Bruce McLaren. It features, for obvious [birthday] reasons, two Double Figures of Eight."

Originally conceived as a strathspey the devisers suggest it may also be danced in different rhythms using  recordings as follows:  

  - Medley (64S+64J): Johnnie Walker (Iain MacPhail)
  - Jig: Waratah Weaver (Luke Brady)
  - Reel: The Shetland Fiddler  (Chris and Julie Dewhurst)
  - Playford: Daniel's Reel (The Assembly Players)

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). 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.
