The top two and bottom two couples in the set are dancing reflected patterns (hands across, turns, reels and the Targe) with some minor distortions coming from precedence as dancers cross the “water line” between 2nd and 3rd places. Those coming up from the water (3rd and 4th places) always cross before those dropping down from the air (1st and 2nd places).

Woodhall Loch is in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland. Its southern shoreline is part of the grounds of Laurieston Hall which is home to a self-sufficient community that also holds residential events for external groups. The London Gay Gordons has held several Scottish Country Dance weeks there. The inspiration for this dance came on one of those events and the title from seeing almost perfect reflections on the loch.
