Notes from Doug: Dedicated to Bonnie Dickson of Ames, Iowa. The title is taken from a poem that Bonnie wrote about Scottish country dancing.
This is a handy dance to allow beginners to practice the pattern of the first eight bars which occurs frequently in SCD. It is much more fun for practice to develop into a danceable pattern.
