I have recently acquired two Edinburgh Branch publications which both
contain a Strathspey - Castle Wynd - by Bob Grant - listed in the Strathspey
Database as a 2/4L shape.

The first publication is the Diamond Jubilee Dances 1984 book which lists
this dance as two couples dancing in a four couple set.  This printing says
"When all four couples are dancing the middle couples should dance round
each other during the allemandes."

The second publication is Five Anniversary Dances  in 1999 (75th).  The same
dance is printed here and it states the dance is a Strathspey for three
couples.  This printing says  "When all are dancing couples should dance
round the couple they face (even in the next set) at the start of the
allemande."

The same music is printed in both publications.

Does anyone know if the dance was changed from a four couple set to a three
couple set or if it is an error in the second printing?
