John Drewry wrote this dance in September 1999 for Margaret Hutcheon of Mosstowie and Margaret Kendall of Pontefract.
Furthermore he added the following notes in Greenburn Book 3:
- At the junction on the. A96 Aberdeen-Inverness road, where the road to Mosstowie branches off, there is an old toll house which is painted in such a way that the windows appear to have eyebrows!
- The house in Monymusk, where Margaret Kendali spends some time each summer is also an old toll house.
