Ecclefechan Feline- A useful reminder of mirror reels, together with figures of 8 on the side and teapots.
Catch the Wind -the one where the lady is followed by the man but only lets him catch her at the end. Features the reel of 3 across.
Barbara's Strathspey -Features half figure of 8 and then the wonderful 3 couple bourrell when you are re-united with your Partner in a line up and down. The 3 couple Bourrel only works if you start it NOT OPPOSITE your partner so there's a clever little sequence to get you in the right places to start
