Dance devised by Muriel Johnstone.<\/p>\n

Muriel\u2019s enjoyment of the figure \u201clink for three\u201d, as in Gang the Same Gate, led her to incorporate it in jig time for this dance.<\/p>\n

\u201cPearlin\u2019 Jean\u201d was an ill-fated lady crossed in love, who became the subject of several versions of a local ghost story. The house where she met her untimely death overlooked the River Whiteadder just outside Allanton.<\/p>\n
