When published in the <<ddpub:Green Book#755>> the music was given as Crieff Fair. In the <<ddpub:Lion Rampant Book#700>> this was changed to a recording of Nottingham Lace. The two versions also differ choreographically with the Green Book version having 2nd & 3rd couples also active in bars 1-8 whereas the Lion Rampant version has them standing for 8 bars.
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.
