This was my first dance. I wrote it to honor Ann Skipper, founder of the Clan MacLeod Dancers and dance mistress of Clan MacLeod USA. It has become a staple of the Clan MacLeod Dancers demonstration team in southern California, and was published in 1994 in Ann’s new collection, If the Ghillie Fits. 32 bar reel in a square set. 1988.
