This dance, one of 24 published as The Cane Toad Collection, was devised in Wellington in November 1993. The
recommended tune is "The Brig O' Bervie" played ABAB and the devisor suggests suitable music as "The Birks Of
Invermay" recorded by Bobby Crowe and his Scottish Dance Band on "Music For Twelve Scottish Country Dances
Book 16".
Jenny Freeman “is a good friend living in Wellington, New Zealand”.
