Quiz In Issue 21 I asked whether any of our members would like to compile a Scottish country dance or Scottish-related word quiz. Sheila Sergeant of Duns and District, who regularly compiles quizzes for her Branch, submitted the following. The answers to the quiz are on page 14. [Editor] Here are some clues, the answers are all the names of Scottish country dances, not all of them published by the RSCDS. 1 Joyous assembly (3,5,7) 2 A good fatless sponge should be this (5,3,4) 3 She may be an optimist or even an Astronomer Royal (3,6,4,6) 4 A dance for the Ganges, or possibly the Potomac or Athabasca? (6,5,9) 5 Sheilas (3,10,6) 6 Satan’s wood shed (3,5,6,4) 7 A dance for Washington, Tokyo, Paris, London, Edinburgh etc (1,7,3) 8 Sad headgear (4,7) 9 00.00 could be crude (8,3) 10 A bearer of apples, plums or cherries could be described thus, especially in spring (3,6,4)
