LORD DOUNE [3]. AKA - "Lord Donne." Scottish (originally), Canadian; Strathspey. Canada, Cape Breton. G Dorian. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB (Surenne): AABB (Gow). 'Doune' is a variation on the Gaelic word dun, meaning fort, and the title comes from Doune Castle, Stirling, Perthshire, central Scotland, on the River Teith, built in the 15th century by Robert Stewart. During the Jacobite rising of 1745 the castle was employed as a prison for supporters of the loyal government captured by the Jacobites. The Stewarts later acquired the title of the Earls of Moray, with the title Lord Doune going to each successive eldest son until he too, was raised to Earl.
