Pousett[e] |
8 |
Torryburn Lassies C.D. - Notes:
With our interpretation of 'swing four', the first 8 bars must here be
interpreted as 'couple 1 and woman 3 - 3 hands across and back', and
so the dance differs here from Allan, Kerr and RSCDS 4-1. It is unlikely that 'set and 3
hands round' is implied here, since this is clearly stated as such in Jessie's Hornpipe.
32. Roayle Albert C.D. (scan )

Queen Victoria - Notes:
With our interpretation of 'swing in the centre', the notebook agrees with
Allan and Kerr.
35. Queen's Welcome (scan )
1 |
The tow [two] top couples swing [4?] |
8 |
2 |
First couple down the centre and up |
8 |
3 |
Rights and lefts |
8 |
4 |
Pousett[e] |
8 |
Queen's Welcome - Notes:
Allan gives '4 hands across' for bars 1-8 instead of 'swing four', but is
otherwise the same. Kerr and RSCDS 4-3 make couples 1 and 2 take up special positions.
36. Peteronella (scan )
1 |
The top couple cut the diamond |
16 |
2 |
Down the centre [&?] up |
8 |
3 |
Pousett[e] |
8 |
Petronella - Notes:
Spelt Peteronella. The phrase 'cut the diamond' has an Irish flavour, and
almost suggests the sidestep, but the usual Petronella figure, or rather, half of it, is
clearly described in The Thistle C.D. RSCDS 1-1, Allan, Kerr, and Lowe all agree.
37. Paddy O'Rafferty (scan )
1 |
The tow [two] top ladies and the tow [two]
top gents advance and retire and change places |
8 |
2 |
Advance and back to places |

8 |
4 |
Swing four |
8 |
5 |
Pousett[e] |
8 |
Paddy O'Rafferty - Notes:
Kerr omits the 'down the centre and up', but is otherwise the same -
provided 'swing four' is interpreted as '4 hands across'. Allan is rather different.
38. Rovers Joye C.D. (scan )
1 |
Top couple swing in the centre |
8 |
2 |
Cast a couple and swing again |
8 |

tow [two] gents the gent between the [two] two ladies |

Six hands half round and back |
8 |
6 |
Swing four |
8 |
7 |
Pousett[e] |
8 |
Rover's Joy - Notes:
Spelt Rovers Joye. 'Set in the centre, etc.', is a little obscure, and
there are various possibilities. The most likely is that it means 'set 3 and 3 top and
bottom, set 3 and 3 sideways'. If this is so, then either couple 1 begin on wrong sides,
or begin the pousette on the wrong side and end it on the right side. Not in Allan, Kerr,
nor the RSCDS books.
39. Pheasents C.D. (scan )
1 |
The three top ladies and the three top gents advance and
retire and change places |
8 |
2 |

Half chasie [chassié] and swing out time |
8 |
7 |
Pousette |
8 |
Clutha C.D. - Notes:
'Swing out time' is unusual in a dance of this date. But clearly something
odd is required to get everyone back to places, and 'half chasie' may be it. Not in Allan,
Kerr, nor the RSCDS books.
43. Hony Moon [?] C.D. (scan )
1 |
The three ladies swing |
8 |
2 |
[?] their partners do the same |

[second] ladie |
8 |
3 |
Top couple down centre [& up?] |
8 |
4 |
Pousett[e] |
8 |
Jessie's Hornpipe - Notes:
Again an interesting inclusion, for in RSCDS 8-9 it is noted as a
collected dance. But the notebook gives a very different dance.
47. Lovers Dream C.D. (scan )
|
Stand for this dance as for a Scotch reel with an odd number
[of couples?] on the one side, say 4 and 5 couples. |
|
1 |
The top couple advance and retire and half rights and lefts |
8 |
2 |
Set and turn partners |
8 |
3 |
Ladies chain |
8 |
4 |
Pousett[e] |
8 |
|
Leading couple always commencing on the opposite from where
they started before |
|
Lovers' Dream C.D. - Notes:
This would seem to imply that the Scotch reel is begun standing beside
partner facing other couple. The need for odd number of couples is obscure. Not in Allan,
Kerr, nor the RSCDS books.
48. La Tempete (scan )
1 |
Top couple advance and retire, half right and left |
8 |
2 |
Set and turn partners |
8 |

16 |
7 |
Next couple the same |
8 |
8 |
Advance and retire and pass the next couple |
8 |
La Tempęte - Notes:
The initial positions of the dancers are obscure. Similar to, but not the
same as Allan and RSCDS 2-1 who also differ themselves.
49. Nut C.D. (scan )
1 |
Top gent set and turn the seceaund [second] ladie |
8 |
2 |
Balance three in a line top ladie going through their arms |
8 |
3 |
Down the centre and up |
8 |
4 |
Pousett[e] |
8 |
The Nut C.D. - Notes:
RSCDS 1-4, Allan, and Kerr all agree.
50. Silver Bell C.D. (scan )
1 |
Top couple advance and retire and swing four |
8 |
2 |
Set and turn partners |
8 |
3 |
Advance four in a line from the sides and cross over |
8 |
4 |
Repeat no. 1:2 & 3 back to places |
24 |
5 |
Double ladies chain |
8 |
6 |
Waltz [to?] the next couple |
16 |
Silver Bell C.D. - Notes:
Unusual to start with a duple minor dance and then make everyone dance
(c.f. "Eight Men of Moidart" - an old Scottish C.D.). Double ladies chain occurs
in quadrilles. Not sure what it is here? Not in Allan, Kerr, nor the RSCDS books.
51. Rorry O'Morre C.D. (scan )
1 |
Top couple swing in the centre |

2 |
Set and turn opposite partners |

facing each other and turn partners |
8 |
4 |
Reel four down the dance |
8 |
5 |
Pousett[e] |
8 |
Shoulder to Shoulder C.D. - Notes:
Extremely unusual to find a reel of four in a C.D., let alone one down the
dance. One possible reconstruction is: return to places as shown
C1 turn by right, C2 turn by
right, and into reel of four.
Not in Allan, Kerr, nor the RSCDS books.
53. Meszeppa C.D. (scan )
1 |

16 |
Haymakers C.D. - Notes:
Agrees with RSCDS 2-11, Kerr and Lowe, save that 'turn with both hands;'
is given as 'turn with crossed hands'. Allan is slightly different at the end.

8 |
2 |
Top couple pousette to bottom and form an arch |

16 |
Cumberland Reel - Notes:
Allan and Kerr agree, and are very nearly the same as RSCDS 1-11. The
notebook gives the same type of figures, but in a different order. Note however that the
notebook begins with 'swing four', while Allan, Kerr, and RSCDS 1-11 begin with '4 hands
across'.

8 |
3 |
Pousett[e] |

The Triumph - Notes:
The first set agrees with Allan, Kerr, and Lowe, in that bars 17-24 are
'pousette', not 'pousette to bottom' as in RSCDS 1-2.

Pousett[e] |
8 |
Aeonia Pony C.D. - Notes:
[? - not sure of both words.]
Error in phrasing. Are both 'swing fours' full 8 bars, or is the first

Merry Dance C.D. - Notes:
This is one of the most interesting dances in the notebook, since it has
been revived by the R.S.C.D.S. from the Ballroom, 1827, as The Merry Dancers, RSCDS 4-2,
and does not occur in Allan, Lowe, or Kerr. Agrees with RSCDS 4-2 exactly.
