29 capriole ( Capri-ole)

[quinie]

From Aberdeenshire- hence quinie! It's quite a while though since I was a quinie-auld wifie might be a better name now. I looked up my list of dances and saw capriole It what do you think?fits the clue

[janbee]

I agree about capriole. Well done. I read a lot of books by Stuart MacBride and they're all set in and around Aberdeen. He sometimes refers to someone as a Torry Quine. As I don't come from Aberdeen, I don't even know if this is a compliment or not ?? Have you read his books? They're really great.

[quinie]

Haven't read any of his books but I'll have a look in the library tomorrow,janbee. A Torry Quine is a girl from Torry a district in Aberdeen

[janbee]

Start with his first book if possible. It's called Cold granite. Best wishes.
