The form described here is that commonly used as part of a Scottish ceilidh dance.
A brief description of the dance would be: The top couple link arms and spin each other for a count of 16, at which point the lady 'strips' down the line of men alternating left-handed anti-clockwise swings with someone else's partner right-handed clockwise half-turn swings with their partner working steadily down the set, the gentleman at this point swinging only with his partner.
At the bottom, the couple join again and spin for a count of 8, then the gentleman 'strips' up the line of ladies the same as his partner just did, while the lady swings only with the man.
Variations include: Under the title "Drops of Brandy" the "tunearch" website has 10 transcriptions of the melody.
[1] A more famous collection, O'Neill's "Dance Music of Ireland: 1001 Gems" (1907) has listed it as no 448.
