The name means "Land of the Eternal Young".

It was published by the RSCDS in a leaflet along with dances collected by Mary MacNab. However, according to the notes, this is a traditional dance from Lewis in the Outer Hebrides and was collected by Iain MacFarlane (of Toronto). It is sometimes danced to mouth music.

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.

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.
