There are two versions of the Glendarroch Sheet for this dance. In one (earlier?) version 2nd couple are shown turning RH in bars 27-28 in between dancing up LH and then later turning LH for 29-32. The other (corrected?) version shows 2nd couple turning LH throughout. This matches the text.

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). 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.
