Arthur's Seat - last two bars

May 21, 2019, 8:48 p.m. (Message 70706)

Greetings,

"Arthur's Seat" is from the "18th C Book" (My copy is a revised edition - 1963 or 
1967)

 http://my.strathspey.org/dd/dance/245/

In the original wording, the 1s "turn by the right to own sides" on the last two bars. 
This is supported by the notes for the 2nd time thru, which say "cross to own sides, 
to the bottom of the set".

On SCDDB, the cribs both indicate that this is a petronella turn (as is often the case 
in hello-goodbye). 

The videos (only one on SCDDB, a 2nd one is available on the SCD Dictionary) 
differ on the last two bars. One shows a petronella turn; the other shows a RH turn.

Any recommendations on how to teach those last two bars?

Thank you.
