| Bars | |||
| 1-4 | 1M and 2W set advancing and turn BH once round ending in original places. | ||
| 5-8 | 1W and 2M repeat bars 1-4. | ||
| 9-16 | 1C and 2C dance the knot. | ||
| 17-20 | 2C, 1C, and 3C dance set and link for 3 couples on the sides: 1M dance forward and down and curve into 3M's place while 3W dance forward and up and curve into 1W’s place (passing 1M LS) while 2M and 3M each cast up 1 place while 1W and 2W each cast off 1 place. |
||
| 21-24 | All turn the person opposite once round LH. | ||
| 25-32 | All dance a bourrel for 3 couples. | ||
| Repeat. | |||
| Suggested music is Mr Robert H MacKay from Cairngorms with Keith Smith and Muriel Johnstone. | |||
| Iain Boyd posted a query on strathspey.org about a set and link for 3 couples on the sides which got me thinking about how it might work. I have no idea whether this is the same figure as the one Iain asked about, but when I danced it in my head, it occurred to me that it was the perfect setup for the 3-couple bourrel, so I had to try it out in a dance. | |||
