I have 101 SCD (the 1972 reprint) in front of me and it says 13-16 1st couple lead up the middle to the top of the set, then cast off one place on the wrong sides of the dance and turn to face 1st corners. Book 7 (the 1986 edition) tells us that 13-16 1st couple lead up to the top and cast off one place and finish facing first corners. 3rd couple step down on bars 15-16. Looks the same to me. Incidentally, 101 SCD has a note in front that says This book is published with the full approval of the Royal Scottish Country Dance Society. so even if 101 SCD was published at Miss Milligan's private pleasure rather than that of the Society, it ought to be safe for us to assume that the dances didn't differ from the official RSCDS publications.
