MOUNT STEWART HOUSE. AKA and see "Lew Gordon, Quickstep." Scottish, Pipe March (2/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Mount Stewart, Isle of Bute, is an exquisite Victorian Gothic mansion built in 1880 by Sir Robert Anderson for the 3rd Marquess of Bute. The Marquess wanted a house that expressed his recent conversion to the Catholic faith, and the house combined Venetian style with Gothic ideals, creating a very Victorian vision in red sandstone. There was a former manor on the site, also called Mount Stewart.

The march was published first in William Ross’s Collection, later printed in Logan and Glen's collection. Under the title "Lew Gordon, Quickstep" it appeared in Colin Cameron's manuscript, attributed to W. Mackay.
