Originally SCDDB attributed this dance to <<ddp:Thurston, Hugh A#392>> but according to <<https://my.strathspey.org/dd/issue/2228/|issue 2228>> the deviser was reported as unknown in the original Thistle #16 article - although similar to Thurston's <<ddd:Rosslyn Castle#5697>>. It was probably devised around 1962.

The tune was originally given as <<ddt:#2737>> but is now corrected to the similarly named, but apparently not identical, <<ddt:#9833>>.
