The Monifieth Star
Monifieth is a resort town in Angus, east of Dundee. Law Hill, a vitrified hill fort, is nearby as is Buddon Ness which juts out into the North Sea near the entry to the Firth of Tay. Since there are several lighthouses in the area it is possible that one of these might be the “star” of Monifieth, its erection in the 19th century celebrated with a dance.
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.
