Some Other Steps Used In Scottish Country Dancing

A few dances involve less usual Quick tempo steps.
For example: the Running Step occurs in Strip the Willow; Set and Point in Angus Macleod and Pas-de-Basque Coupé in Lord Maclay's Reel. The Waltz Country Dance uses steps from the Olde Tyme répertoire and, in The Eightsome Reel, each dancer is invited to choose alternatives to Pas-de-basque for her/his 8 bar solos.

A few dances involve less usual Strathspey steps.
For example: the Rocking Step occurs in the Strathspey part of the Medley, Schiehallion; The Glasgow Highlanders uses an 8-bar Setting step of the same name; and The Shepherd's Crook 2 involves other complex steps from the Highland Dancing répertoire.
