This dance was collected from Mrs Peter Nimmo of Vancouver. It is said to have been danced in Glasgow about the year 1860. As children it was played as a game and described the joys of ‘Rothesay at the Fair’ - swing-boats, Merry-go-rounds, etc. The last two figures show the return to Glasgow through all the railway tunnels and the walk home at the end.
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.
