(Devised on 19 November 1999 for teaching phrasing of figures-of-eight. Cambusnethan is the village in the Lanarkshire parish of the same name where large numbers of my paternal ancestors were born, lived, and died. I would have called the dance The Auld Hoose, since that is where they lived, however, since John Drewry already has a dance of that name...)
