DOON THE WATER. Scottish, Reel. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. Nigel Gatherer explains that 'going doon the water' was a Glaswegian expression referring to 'down the River Clyde'(i.e. to the sea) when, in Victorian times, thousands would holiday at the resorts along the coast of west Scotland.
