Minard Castle
'StateBlock' object has no attribute 'is_code_block'
Minard Castle is a 19th century “castle” built on the west shore of Loch Fyne in Argyllshire
about eight miles northeast of Lochgilphead.

In the great period of steamships on the Clyde there was a vessel also named “Minard Castle”
which was built in 1882.

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8).

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.
