Back to Dunbarton's Drums
DUNBARTON'S DRUMS. AKA and see "Dumbarton's Drums." Scottish, Air (4/4 time). F Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Note the misspelling in the "Dunbarton" title, which should be "Dumbarton." "Dunbarton's Drums" is the regimental march of the Royal Scots Regiment. The name derives from the time when Lord George Douglas, created Earl of Dumbarton in 1675, was Colonel, and the Regiment was known as "Dumbarton's Regiment." Country dance figures to a dance called "Dunbarton's Drums" appear in the The Ladies and Gentlemen's Companion, a volume published in 1803 by H. Mann (Dedham, Mass.).
