Devised by Dorothy Leurs, Edinburgh, in 1993 for the St. Margaret's Chapel Guild at Edinburgh Castle to celebrate the 900th anniversary of the death of St. Margaret, Queen of Scotland 1058- 1003. The figures of the dance represent the King (Malcolm Canmore) presenting his Queen to the people, crossing the River Forth at Queensferry (named after Margaret), taking the relics to St. Andrews and the cross of St. Andrew. Note: The title uses "St" and not "Saint".
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.
