The Flying Scotsman

32 Bar Reel

Longways set dance for four couples

 Bars 1-8 Men join hands and take 16 slip steps round the Ladies. 1st man is train driver!
 Bars 9-16 Ladies join hands and take 16 slip steps round the men. 1st lady is driver.
 Bars 17-24

Top Couple hold hands and take 8 big slip steps down the centre. Come back up with only 8 small steps joining the bottom of their own set

 Bars 25-32  Everyone holds hands and slip steps (8) down the centre and back

This works best later in the evening when inhibitions have gone! All must make as much noise as possible (as per a train) when doing the train bit!

As a variation second time through men go behind 1st lady, in front of 2nd, behind 3rd etc to 'put some bends in the track'!

Signet Library - Edinburgh - a fabulous venue to play!
