17-24 As an aide-mémoire, the dancer who is on the right foot step (and also on the outside) must not travel sideways on the 7th beat of the 2-bar step; instead s/he must dance on the spot so that her/his partner naturally makes the ¼ turn around her/him.

33-40 Double toe-off (Highland) step is a derivative of the Glasgow Highlanders' step with a different first bar.
