8 The Torridon Cross
The type is “j48 4” - should be “J48 4” - a very minor thing, but a trifle irritating!

The lower case “j” has a meaning; it is a (9/8) Jig. No change needed. Eric

The music seems to be a 6/8 jig

but I am no musician!
I thought that the rhythm of 9/8 jigs was quite distinctive - like “Strip the willow”, but I had not really thought about it before now!
In the Overview for “Strip the Willow”, it says " Also known as “Drops of Brandy”, “Strip the Widow” (unofficial).
Jig (9/8) · 40 bars · 4 couples · Longwise - 4 (Progression: 2341) " but in the Overview for “Torridon Cross” it says
"Jig · 48 bars · 4 couples (3x,4x) · Longwise - 4 (Progression: 3142) "
If I am wrong and this dance is not a normal 6/8 jig, the database seems to be inconsistant in teh way it handles these things!
