"For Pat Batt and all the other two-sex Scottish Dancers who have to dance on either side of the set. The dance was inspired by Pat’s poem “The Ladies Man”.
Note: there is a misprint in the description published in the 5th Carnforth Collection in bars 25–32 - it should say 3rd & 2nd couples, and at the same time 1st and 4th couples pass right shoulders to start.
