Inscribed "for John Dick, piper".

The notes say "The sound of ghostly piping is sometimes heard around the ruins of Gight Castle. It is said to be the playing of a piper who was sent to explore an underground passage from which he never returned."

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.

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.
