2 chords. On 2nd chord 1W crosses down to R of P, 2W moves 1 place up and 2M crosses to her place, so 1c faces 2c.

- 1c+2c set to P: Glasgow Highlanders step (M may do some other Highland step)
- 25–
- Reels4 {6} across the dance | 1c lead down the M side and 2c up the W side to face next couple. On reaching the top, 2c waits inactive on own side ; on reaching the bottom 1c waits inactive on own side.
Notes: The RSCDS prescribes a 4c set, but the tradition is a longwise set 'for as many as will'.
