Devised by Robert Dawson, one of the original members of the group, in January 1998.
Together with his wife Margaret, Robert staged many dances for charity, and he particularly enjoyed researching lesser known dances for these events. Sadly for Bridport Scottish Dancers, the Dawsons now live by the Moray Firth.
