When published in the The Green Book the music was given as Crieff Fair. In the The Lion Rampant Book this was changed to a recording of Nottingham Lace.

The two versions also differ choreographically with the Green Book version having 2nd & 3rd couples also active in bars 1–8 whereas the Lion Rampant version has them standing for 8 bars.
