- The number of bars is ...
The number of bars is fairly arbitrary, except that (a) the reel should be repeated the same number of times as the strathspey, and (b) the total number of times should be a multiple of two so that dancers will finish in original places, with own partners.
An article about the Foursome Reel appeared in issue 55 of The Thistle magazine.
