Devised by Ian Brockbank. Copyright October 1996. Published in the New Scotland 50th Anniversary Collection of Scottish Country Dances.
This dance was written for Sophia Marriage, then president of New Scotland, when she complained that all dances containing reels of four contained other figures which were too complex for beginners.
If you try this dance, please let me know how you get on.
