Devised in March 2003 to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the Strathspey Server. The strathspey balance in line figure (see below for instructions) across the top and bottom of the set, and then on the sides, depicts the connections among dancers around the world through the Internet, thanks to the Strathspey Server.
Music: John Stephen of „Chance Inn‟ (Fitchet‟s SD Collection, page 7). A suitable recording for this dance is the Selection of Strathspeys, Track 11 of Any Good Dance, Any Good Tune, by Bobby Brown and The Scottish Accent.
