Hi Simon and others
Yes, I see it could be side by side hands instead of promenade.

Yes, I have seen cpls following each other around their corner person.

That said, I did ask David Queen when he was in Victoria and he did
say " I can tell you there is no promenade"

Thank you for your reply and other private reply to clear this
question that has been on my mind.
Cheers
Marie

Marie,

I have to say that I would go with whatever David Queen suggests given
that it was his father who devised the dance back in 1969.  Also, I have
to admit I have never seen it danced with promendae.  And, your
instructions say 'dance up/down' which I have always understood to be
nearer hands.

For interest, Angus MacLeod was the founder of the Clan MacLeod Pipe
Band in Liverpool (just down the road from where I grew up), which was
the band Alex Queen (David's father) piped in.

Rgds,
Phill
