Tune of the Day: Adieu Dundee

Traditional Scottish march

This tune has a rich history, probably dating back to the 16th century. It is first found, under the title “Adew Dundee”, in the Skene lute manuscript of c. 1620, and it later appears as “Bonnie Dundee” in the 1688 Appendix of Playford’s Dancing Master. In Ireland it is also known as “The Laccarue Boys”, a title first found in Francis O'Neill's early-20th-century collections.
