- The name derives from a ...
The name derives from a Robert Burns song, »Cauld Kail in Aberdeen«. In former times, kail (or, more commonly, curly-leaved kale) – Brassica oleracea acephala –, a form of greenish leaf cabbage, formed a very important part of the Scottish diet.
In the 1890s, Scottish writers including J. M. Barrie (of Peter Pan fame) and George MacDonald developed the »Kailyard school« of fiction, depicting a sentimental version of rural Scottish life. A kailyard is a small cabbage patch, often adjacent to a crofter's cottage.
The dance introduces the formation »set to corners and partner« – today commonly referred to as »hello-goodbye setting« – and got connected to it to the degree that the formation used to be known as »Cauld Kail setting«.
