Dance Video Sir Murdoch MacDonald's Strathspey (Video 1)
(No short description)
Once through as part of a longer Newcastle demo. The dance is slightly adapted:
- on bars 1-8 both 1st and 3rd couples are dancing instead of just 1st couple;
- after the hands across figures of bars 17-24 the orientation of the set is rotated 90 degrees.
