The Cranberry Tart, 32-bar jig devised by Terry Glasspool

Описание: The Cranberry Tart was on the programme for the Ngaio Scottish Country Dancing Club's annual dance on June 14, 2025.

The dance was held in the Ngaio town hall, Wellington, New Zealand. The MC was club tutor Melva Waite, and music was by Jason Morris, Hilary Ferral and Jonny Warnes.

Melva chose this dance as a tribute to former band leader and accordionist Aileen Logie, who is now back in her home country of Scotland. Aileen and Hilary sometimes played as a duo and were known as the Cranberry Tarts.
