This dance is for Nigel and Bridget Cooper. Nigel runs the monthly “RonDancing” experts group in Cambridge where I get to teach a few of my complex dances.

Nigel and his sister Susie have a holiday home on Arran. The house is set back from two projections of the old raised cliff which are called Innean Mòr and Innean Beag (Large Anvil and Small Anvil). There is a stream, or burn, running down between them whose name might be Allt nan Inneonacha which can be translated as Burn of the Anvils or Anvils Burn.
