From the notes to the dance: "Macleod's Tables are the two flat topped mountains overlooking Dunvegan. Ask about the legend of the Tables next time you visit Skye." Or look at links such as <<http://www.glendaleskye.com/the_tables.php>> and <<https://thedunvegan.com/what-to-do/macleods-tables/>>.
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.
