Devised by Ellen Ternes (ellenter [at] comcast.net) after learning, with great glee, that the very Italian-looking Dario Franchitti, winner of the 2012 Indy 500 race, is very Scottish!

Suggested music: “Flights of Fancy,” from Celebrate 50 Years of Dancing with the Boston Branch.

The deviser is non-committal about the music, even noting that it could be danced as a reel.
