In the publication of this dance in <<link:thereel/175||2>> Drewry writes that it is for <<ddp: Zadworny, Margaret#1269>> of Nova Scotia who was born in Buckie. He also says that "Buckie" is the name for the whelk or sea-snail as well as the town on the Banff-shire coast. So the title "Come out of your Buckie" also means "Come out of your shell".
