Piper's Glen is a small valley in the centre of the Margarees in Cape Breton. The dirt road from the highway is sometimes hazardous, but a beautiful scene of towering mountains meets the eye at every curve of the road, as it winds through the highlands. Suddenly the vista changes to green fields, cows grazing and a meandering river. Far off, the distant sound of a lone piper in the hills. Imagination, maybe the wind, could be, but who knows.
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.
