Incribed to Miss M. Lilly, of Whitehaven. Drewry writes in a footnote to bars 15-16 (representing the haggis): "Obviously the common right-handed Haggis (Haggis Normalis), which lives mainly on Lilly leaves and neaps. It is quite distinct from the rare left-handed Haggis (Haggis Widdershinsia), which was last seen on the Witches' Step in Arran."
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.
