The dance notes have the following story to explain the title:

*My father's mother claimed to have a family connection with Sir Isaac Newton. We have no proof of this connection. but they both came from the same part of Lincolnshire.*
*An interesting parallel is that I was sitting one day under a haggis tree and a haggis fell off onto my head.*
*This made me gravitate to Scottish Country Dancing!*
*Someone in the "Big Apple" actually believed this story which proves that if one tells a big enough lie it may become established truth!*

*One of my father's cousins took her mother, my grandmother and another aunt to a restaurant in London.*
*Wishing to impress the other diners, the aunt said in a loud voice, "Of course we are all descended from Sir Isaac Newton".*
*She was promptly kicked under the table because Uncle Isaac was a bachelor, and, in those days, single parents were not even mentioned in polite circles.*
