Video Notes
This is shown in a longwise set, first in the quick tempo form using skip change and then in strathspey tempo using the strathspey travelling step. In each sequence, The Targe is shown starting with the couples in line, 1M2L1L2M, across the set, 1s facing down, 2s up; the finishing point is also shown as a line, 2M1L2L1M, across the set, 2s facing down, 1s up, though in many dances this will need modification to suit the succeeding figure.
