Inscribed to Ruth Cheney, an enthusiastic member of the St Margaret’s Ilkley Scottish Country Dance class, who sadly passed away in July 2015. She was formerly a professional viola player, and her spirit was lifted by the performance of traditional music by such fiddlers as Keith Smith and Alasdair Fraser.
