A Capital Jig, 32-bar jig devised by Tine MacKay

A Capital Jig was on the programme for the Linden Scottish Country Dancing Club’s annual dance on June 27, 2026. The dance was held in the Ngaio town hall, Wellington, New Zealand. The MC was club tutor Ann Oliver, and music was by Jason Morris, Hilary Ferral and Shane Rempala. Wellington is the capital city of New Zealand, but the capital which inspired this dance is actually Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in the United States.
