Book 26 credits this dance to the New Lanark Collection of Robert Owen. New Lanark was a cotton-processing “model village” on the river Clyde south-east of Glasgow which was essentially owned by Owen, who was a social reformer as well as an entrepreneur and believed in keeping his workers entertained in a wholesome fashion, which apparently included dancing. There is no evidence that Owen himself wrote the dance; he probably underwrote the publication of the dance book.

However, the Combined RSCDS SCD Books 25–30 state: The source previously given for this dance is The Collection of Robert Owen but we have not been able to verify this.
