Question:

In the dance ‘The Braes of Balluder’, the instructions for bars 17 – 24 say ‘First couple set and turn corners’.  I am not sure whether this would be a 2 handed turn with a setting step, or a right handed turn with a travelling step.

Answer:

Where the instructions say “set and turn corners”, the ‘turn’ should be interpreted as a two-handed turn using pas de basque.  (Note that there is a tradition in Edinburgh that two handed turns are danced with skip change of step.)
