This dance is for Robb Quint who sends out a colourful daily "SCD-SoCal" email on matters related to Scottish Country Dancing or with some, perhaps tenuous, link to Scotland: its art, geography or history.
These mails have a wide international following in addition to his local dancers in Southern California.

Robb lives in Thousand Oaks, west of Los Angeles, and is a keen linguist.
So the SCD-SoCal-mails are often peppered with quotes in a variety of languages.
The "Mille Querce" title of this dance is Italian for "Thousand Oaks".
It may look a little like Quirky Mails but is pronounced "**Meel**-Lay **Kwair**-Chay".
The five person square set was chosen as "Quint" is reminiscent of "five" in Latin languages.
It also allows the M shaped setting figure which represents 1,000 in Roman numerals.
The highland arms are here symbolising oak trees with acorns and branches rather than traditional deer eyes and antlers.
The chase with one pair in promenade hold might suggest a rotating letter Q.
