Notes:

Countess of Moray

Doune Castle, standing on a grassy eminance commanding the village and the river, is the setting for one of the most haunting and dramatic ballads in the repertoire, The Bonnie Earl 0' Moray'. The castle was built in the late fourteenth century by the Duke of Albany, later passed to the Crown and thence to the Earls of Moray, who own it still. The second Earl was murdered at Donibristle in Fife in 1592. If the words of the ballad about the event are to be believed, the king may have had a hand in it, or if he didn't was not much upset. He went hunting on the day of the funeral. The good-looking Earl was a lightweight and hardly deserved to be immortalised in such poignant words and music.
?i?Ye Hielands and ye Lawlands,
0 where hae ye been?
They hae slain the Earl o' Moray,
And laid him on the green.
He was a braw gallant,
And he rode at the ring;
And the bonnie Earl o' Moray,
He might have been a King.
0, lang will his ladye look
Frae the Castle Doune
Ere she see the Earl o' Moray
Come soundin?sup?'?/sup? through the toun.?sup?'?/i??/sup?
And if you stand on the ramparts, you'll realise that she could have seen him coming from a very long way off.
[ "Reflections on Scotland" by Ian Wallace pub.1988 ]
