Tunes for Members  

Two of the best things about Scottish dancing are the friends that we make and the seemingly endless supply of excellent tunes to dance to. Tunes are written for any number of reasons but are often dedicated to specific individuals, such as Helen Black of Inveran, and it is a real honour to have a tune written for, and named after you. 

However, there are a number of tunes that simply specify the person's christian name and his gives us the opportunity to dance to them in honour of our own members. 

Hooper's Jig Peter's Peerie Boat (1st tune)
Belle of Bon Accord

Graham Hamilton of Glenwood (2nd tune) / 

Miss CM Sturges (now Hamilton) (3rd tune)
Reel of the 51st Division Jenny's Bawbee (3rd tune)
Butterscotch and Honey Sheila's Strathspey (1st tune)
Midnight Oil Christine's Jig (5th tune)
Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh Gillian's Reel (5th tune)
The Cranberry Tart Jessie's Whip (4th tune)
The Falls of Bracklinn Margaret's Fancy (4th tune)
MacLeod's Fancy Lady Helen's Jig (1st tune)
Glastonbury Tor Jean's Reel (1st tune)

 Apologies to those members whose tunes I couldn't find suitable recordings for - such as Valerie's Strathspey, Brenda's Bacon Butty, Eileen's Strathspey, Pam's Magic Harmonies, Marci[a]'s Strathspey, Dusty Bob's Jig, A Jig for Tony and Celia*, Reel for Nick[y],  Sheena's Fiddle, Jim's Delight, Wendy's Jig, Dr Keith or Graham's Reel.

Special apologies to Jonathan, Geraldine, Ludka and Gay - I couldn't find tunes for them!

* - it's actually called "A Jig for Tony and Betty" but I couldn't find any tunes specifically for Celia - sorry!
