Drewry explains in his notes for that dance that: The Bullers of Buchan are a rock formation in the cliffs north of Cruden Bay, Aberdeenshire. The most impressive feature is "The Pot" - a circular basin surrounded by tremendous rocks and with a narrow cave-like opening through which the sea flows into the cauldron. It is possible to enter the pot by rowing boat. Dr Johnson and Boswell visited the Bullers in 1773.
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.
