The Cock o’ the North
Description:The original version is evidently English. At least, it has been persistently rumored without any verification that a trumpet version of the tune was played at the execution of Mary Queen of Scots in In England, Andrew Bullen suggests there is some evidence to think that "Cock of the North" was the tune traditionally used in the famous horn dance of Abbots Bromley, Staffordshire currently performed in most Christmas Revels pageants. Since the early 15th century, the Marquis has lived in Aboyne castle, selected for its strategic position near the River Dee and controlling the northern end of one of the Mounth crossings. The Gordons, major landowners rather than a traditional tribal clan, were famed for their championship of catholicism and their mastery of horse-breeding. The Gordons grew without great challenge.
