Can anyone tell me who devised any or all of the following dances:

GREENMANTLE. 32 bar Strathspey 3C set

THE LADY OF THE DANCE. 80 bar Strathspey. I.e. NOT the one by Anselm.

PITTENCRIEFF PANIC. 32-bar Reel. Standard set.

Hi Alan,
 
Pittencrieff Panic was a group of my friends (calling themselves the
Town House Posse) to celebrate my wedding to David on 8 May 2004.  The
reception was held in the Glen Pavillion in Pittencrief Park in
Dunfermline.  The Panic bit comes from the fact that it was only when
they were having tea in between attending the wedding ceremony and
coming to the evening reception that they realised no-one had written
a dance for us.
 
The people who I know were involved are Christine Aerts, Vicky
Whitcomb, Jim Gardener, Nic Meller, Mike Brand and Rachel Robson, but
there were about 15 others who may have added their own comments.
 
David is still promising to write a tune to go with it (it's an 8x32R)
 
For those who don't have the instructions, it goes like this:
 
1-8  1s dance in towards each other then cast to 2nd place (2s step
up) and dance round each other passing RS to finish in 2nd place
facing out
9-16 2s, 1s & 3s reel of three on the sidelines (1M & 2M, 1L & 3L pass RS to start)
17-24 2L, 1L & 3L Advance to Men's side, set, retire to own side and
set while 2M, 1M & 3M set twice, advance to Ladies' side and retire
25-32 2s, 1s & 3s six hands round and back.
 
If you try it, please let me know how you get on.
 
Hope that helps,
 
Seonaid Anderson
Markinch, Fife
