LORD DOWN [1]. Scottish, Strathspey. G Minor. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The tune appears in Biography:Malcolm MacDonald's 1797 4th collection, a volume dedicated to the Countess of Breadalbane. While there is a "Lord Down" in Irish peerage, the title of this strathspey refers to "Lord Doune" (pronounced 'down'), a title of Stewart Earls of Moray, with the title Lord Doune going to each successive eldest son.
