Dance Video Mairi's Wedding (Video 7)

(No short description)
The video calls the dance "Mairi's Wedding", but 1c always passes R shoulder in the middle ("Mairi's Divorce"). There is slight change to the figures, so that 1c ends in 3rd place, and then makes a turn and cast to reach 4th place when the next couple starts. 4 times through.
