For Gordon Hutchinson, with thanks for the cider and all the other organic fruits he brings to functions. This dance has been submitted to the RSCDS for Book 49.

When Irene Paterson taught the dance for the first time at a workshop in Portland it was different: the switching of couples started with 4c, and finished with 1c, the progression being (2,3,4,5,1). Irene subsequently changed the ending, starting the switching with 1c, and leading to the progression (5,3,4,1,2).
