Devised to honour Miss M.A. Rae on becoming Hon President of the Duns & District Branch. From the notes: The advance and retire represents the ebb and flow of the tide and the circular movements represent the seagulls wheeling round the rocks. The crosses (the wheels) represent St. Ebba and the Christian communities of the district. Each figure should flow into the next representing continuity of life from generation to generation and from century to century.
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.
