Mairi's Wedding Reels

The term Mairi's Wedding reels is a shorthand expression for the four successive Half diagonal reels of four in bars 9-16 of the Scottish country dance Mairi's Wedding, though it is almost always interpreted as the modern variation in which the Dancing couple pass By the right between the Half diagonal reels of four rather than, as written, By the left.
