Dedicated to Bill Forbes, St Johns SCD Club teacher and late uncle to Alistair, band leader and accordionist, who composed the tune for this dance. The tune came first, when it was gifted to Stephen by Alistair as a friendship thank you. Stephen has known Bill since 1977 when they were together at St Andrews Summer School taking their Full Teacher’s Certificate under the ever watchful, but kind, eye of Jean Milligan. So, this dance is dedicated to my long friendship with my friend Bill (1921-2016). The reader is invited to see both Reel 286 p8, 2013 and Reel 297 p8, 2016 to learn more of Alister, Bill and the Craigievar Band.
