Devised in memory of the deviser's wife and dancing partner for 64 years, Barbara, the dance is constructed from some of her favourite sequences.

Muriel Johnstone has made a recording of her music for the dance. Apart from the original tune for this dance (<<ddt:Barbara's Favourites>>) it also includes <<ddt:Dean Brig of Edinburgh, The>>, <<ddt:Ceilidh Umbrella, The>> and Atholl Palace.

The original instructions can be found in <<https://my.strathspey.org/dd/issue/2720/>>.

Less able/less energetic dancers, who find the return to own sides via passing right shoulders in bars 23 - 24 too demanding, may turn right hands.
