Probably just a question of popularity; when I began SCD, we did Duke of Perth, the Eightsome and Dashing White Sergeant, time and again. Today, they hardly appear on any programs at all -- except perhaps at gay ceilidhs...?

Dashing White Sergeant and Gay Gordons seem to be done at evry ceilidh I've ever been to. The other favourites are Eightsome Reel, Duke of Perth (sometimes Strip the Willow), Hamilton House, Reel of the 51st Division etc.. In fact the first two are pretty universally known even by non-dancers as most get taught them at school here in Scotland.
