Torryburn Lassies
Torryburn is a village in Fife, not far from Culross, on the Firth of Forth. One lass born in Torryburn was Alison Cunningham, “Cummy”, the strong-willed, staunchly Calvinist nurse to the young Robert Louis Stevenson, “my laddie”. In 1885, Stevenson remembered the nurse who hat exerted such a profound influence upon him by dedicating to her *A Child's Garden of Verses*.
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.
