Dear Mike,

The description "Shetland Reels" probably more correctly refers to the type of 
reels in John Drewry's dance "The Saint Nicholas Boat".

I came across these reels in a 'Shetland' context some years before John devised 
his own dance.

Unfortunately, I can not remember where I originally found them - perhaps in one 
of the Flett's books.

Regards,

 Iain Boyd
