The Old Sinister Left

Some people thought it went back to the eye because obviously the terms clockwise and counterclockwise didn't exist before clocks. The closest they had to it was so they would tend to just have left, going from left to right or right to left. That was kind of the more, you know, because there was no reason other than saying circling. There was a record of them, the term Widdershins, which comes from Scottish, I believe,. And that was the idea that you were sort of walking left around something.
