Devised 28/9/2025 and modified 30/3/2025 as part of a teaching programme for lead change reels. Putting the dance into a longwise 4C set means that the reels of three are longer than usual, and the entry is natural.  
A Kowhai (approximately pronounced ”kow-fai”, ”kow” as in ”doe”, ”fai” as in ”eye”) is a New Zealand native tree with beautiful yellow flowers and as I write this we have one flowering outside of my back window.  
Recommended tune is “Wee Willie’s Strathspey” (by W. Porteous Junior) and there is a nice recording by Peter Elmes and his Band, for the track ”The New Plymouth Strathspey” on ”The Lochiel Collection”. Should this not be available, for recorded music, I would recommended tune ”Miss Janet Laing’s Strathspey” by Nan Main, and either of the society’s recordings for book 22 would be good. Failing that use any reasonable recording of ”The Balmoral Strathspey”.
