Twice through only!
The pattern represents the Black Watch cap badge design. In some areas the custom is that inner dancers who pass to corners do not first swivel to face inwards, but, like those in the centre, swivel during the setting.
A comment made by David Queen on the Scottish Country Dance teachers (07/2017): “Dad wrote the dance in 1969 and the first version started with a reel of 4 on the sides, then he changed it to the dance in movement which defines the dance.”
