I have a friend who is trying to sort out the dance Ailsa Craig (32S3), and she only has the mini-crib to work from. I don't have the original instructions either, so while I can take a guess I can't be sure as to the answer to her question. Her concern is with the "Progressive Chain" in the last eight bars. She (we both) saw the term "progressive chain" and immediately thought of the chain in MacDonald of the Isles. Unfortunately, that does not give a valid progression. Here is what I came up with under speculation: can anyone confirm or deny (and correct)? Starting order: 1 2 3, all on own sides. bars 1-2: C1 turn RH, while 2L+3L, 2M+3M change on the sides RH. Order 1 3 2. bars 3-4: 1L+3L, 1M+3M change on the sides LH, while C2 turn LH at the bottom. Order 3 1 2. bars 5-6: C3 turn RH at the top, while 1L+2L, 1M+3M change on the sides RH. Order 3 2 1. bars 7-8: 3L+2L, 3M+2M change on the sides LH, while C1 turn LH at the bottom. Order 2 3 1. thanks in advance Norah

Yes, you have solved the puzzle.
