The following corrections were included on a loose sheet "Notes on Dances by Bob Grant June 1996", when Book 39 was first sold in the Summer School bookshop:

Fig 1.  17-24  1st and 3rd men face out

Fig 2.  15-16  Use setting to turn'inwards' to face corner

1-16 (2nd time)  Couples 2 and 4 - no polite turn at end of 1/2 rights and lefts

Tulloch Swing:  It is more usual for couples to link arms, hands cupping elbows, ladies holding dresses and men with free arm raised.  Men 2 cuts and women 2 changes of feet to change direction

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (1). 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.
