Originally published with the title spelled as "Blue Bell", the republication by the <<ddp:Tokyo Scottish Bluebell club#10489>> in their <<ddpub:#1035|anniversary book>> uses "Bluebell". So that has been changed to be the main name of the dance with the "Blue Bell" version as official alias.

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.

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.
