AcknowledgementsThe author has drawn extensively from those publications which he has been able to obtain (or borrow many times from the local Public Library), notably:
The author would like to acknowledge those teachers (especially Martin Sprague and Jean Attwood) who tried to instill in him the rudiments of Scottish Country Dancing, the long-suffering fellow dancers of the many societies whose events he has attended, the many ladies (mainly of the Dorchester and Newbury Societies) who were kind enough not to refuse him as an inexperienced partner, Jessie Collins who has introduced him to many new dances, Ian Robertson for technical advice on the music and, most of all, the very competent dancer who agreed to become his wife. The Internet has enabled access to material which was either not published in hard copy form or which is no longer available. The following have been invaluable:
Charles Upton - Minicrib Scottish Country Dancing Notes
A. Paterson - Scottish Country Dance Database
Any technical publication of this size will contain errors and suffer from omissions, even though much effort has been expended in checking. The author is grateful to those who have pointed out defects and deficiencies and welcomes comments from visitors.
