Thank you. A number of people told me the source of the tune, but I was
unaware it was available from TAC.  I have the TACBOOKS catalogue and I
glanced through it but, since all I knew was the name Blair, I did not
get too far.  Have now found it under H in the Selected Leaflets.

Is the following quotation you sent a description SCD in general or of a
specific dance?
