Devised “for Clare Davitt who is obsessed with dragons.”
The notes explain that:
The “Dundee Dragon”, also known as “Martin’s Stone” is north of Dundee towards Craigowl Hill. The sculptured stone can be seen in a field surrounded by an iron fence (hence bars 11-12/19-20). Once upon a time, in the Parish of Strathmartin near Dundee, a farmer was thirsty, so he sent one of his daughters to fetch him a drink of water from the well. When after a while the daughter did not return, he sent a second and, some time after that, he sent a third. This carried on until he sent the last of his nine daughters to find out what had happened to her sisters. Her screams had been heard by her lover, Martin, the son of a local blacksmith, who went along to find that all nine sisters had been killed by a dragon. After a long struggle Martin killed the dragon with his hammer.
Just by coincidence, Clare’s husband is named Martin!
The notes for the dance on The Sunday Class website also include photos of Martin’s Stone and a statue of the dragon in Dundee, see

.
The Dundee city coat of arms has two dragons as supporters of their shield. See

In addition to the video by the Tay Dancers, there is also one by the Richmond Caledonian Society, see
