This dance has been revised in February 1992. Originally, in the Summer Collection 1988, it had 32 bars. John Drewry revised and republished it in Bankhead Book 1 with the comment: “The original dance was 32 bars long … There was always a problem with entering the repeats of the dance. I have added the extra bars to make it possible to repeat the dance without difficulty”.
Inscribed “for the Scottish Country Dancers of Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia”.
