~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Pasted into the Memorial Edition of The Ormskirk Scottish Dances, is the following note by Bob Donald who was responsible for collating, printing and distributing the book after Roy Clowes\u2019 death and who had detailed knowledge of the devisor\u2019s intentions :<\/p>\n

“1.  The Dundee Whaler
 Bars 17-24:  The question posed here is whether in this sequence of changes across the dance, the dancers would slip into place or turn with a polite turn.  The answer is quite unequivocal, the dancers SLIP into place.
The reason is that in this figure, Roy is representing the tacking to and from of the ship and
therefore the line followed by the leading dancers to the foot of the set has sharp changes of direction just as the ship would have.”<\/p>\n
