The square formation should be wide for the strathspey. At the end of the Strathspey as the couples dance back to place, the size of the set should be reduced for the reel.
When Vancouver was just a small settlement at the mouth of the Fraser
River, it was known as Gastown - named after a well-known local
character, Gassy Jack Deighton. The Vancouver Branch Demonstration Team
first performed this dance for Miss Jean Milligan’s visit to Vancouver
in October, 1966.
The dance was first published in
The Thistle #37
