Coming In), a jig (chosen from The Rakish Highlandman, Duke of Athol�s Reel or
Miss Nancy Frowns), and a strathspey (chosen from The Balmoral Strathspey,
Donald Bane or I'll Gang Nae Mair tae Yon Toon). Performing groups chose a
reel from Minard Castle, College Hornpipe or Argyll's Bowling Green; a jig from
Bob Sanders, Muirland Willie or La Flora; and a strathspey from Alltshellach,
