Performance history in South Africa
1866: A "new and interesting ballet" called The Dancing Scotchman, or Love in all Corners was performed by the Le Roy and Duret theatre company in the Harrington Street Theatre, Cape Town, as afterpiece to a performance of Retribution (Taylor). It was most probably a work created by members of the company, based on the earlier work.
