Sue McKinnell started Scottish country dancing in 1994 and by 1997 was devising dances. She has now devised
over 140 and they are all available from her website.
Of this dance, she says:
I like the figure in bars 9-16 which I saw in John Drewry's dance Midnight Oil, so I decided to try it in a
strathspey.
The suggested music is Invercauld’s Reel.
