“What’s the ‘Broughdarg Two-Step?'”

“Well, you see, during the war with the Tudors Broughdarg changed hands many times. Legend has it some wag kept a running tally of hash marks inside the gate for the English and Irish besiegers.”

“So?”

“So, every time the fortress was taken, the captives and their sympathizers would go to the gibbets on the battlements, at least until their fellows recaptured the city and cut them down. Winds are fierce around Broughdarg most of the year, so the gusts would shake the poor fellows such that they looked to be dancing. By the time the city fell for good, they say, over a thousand had danced the Broughdarg Two-Step.”
