The dance in Scotland called "Bab at the Bowster" is always the winding up

at "kirns" and other merrymakings, and is most likely similar to the

cushion-dance. The tune to which it is danced has words belonging to it.

The beginning lines are--

"There's braw yill,

Down at the mill,

Bab at the bowster," &c.
