From the original description:

> As part of Edinburgh Branch's 75th Anniversary celebrations the chairman, Brian Harry,
> held a reception for members in the Royal College of Physicians.
> 
> Two teams of children from Branch classes gave a demonstration which included this dance,
> specially written for the occasion by Isobel Cook.

This dance is a Jig.  It is correctly described on the contents page of the Five Anniversary Dances booklet and the music is in 6-8 time.  The description with the instructions is wrong and should say "A Jig for 4 couples in a square set".
