Their celebrated pibroch of HOGGIL NAM BO, which is the name of their gathering tune, intimates similar practices,--the sense being-- We are bound to drive the bullocks, All by hollows, hirsts, and hillocks, Through the sleet and through the rain; When the moon is beaming low On frozen lake and hills of snow, Bold and heartily we go; And all for little gain.
NOTE 22 .-- CASTLE OF DOUNE This noble ruin is dear to my recollection, from associations which have been long and painfully broken.

It holds a commanding station on the banks of the river Teith, and has been one of the largest castles in Scotland.

Murdock, Duke of Albany, the founder of this stately pile, was beheaded on the Castle-hill of Stirling, from which he might see the towers of Doune, the monument of his fallen greatness.
In 1745-6, as stated in the text, a garrison on the part of the Chevalier was put into the castle, then less ruinous than at present.

It was commanded by Mr.Stewart of Balloch, as governor for Prince Charles he was a man of property near Callander.

This castle became at that time the actual scene of a romantic escape made by John Home, the author of Douglas, and some other prisoners, who, having been taken at the battle of Falkirk, were confined there by the insurgents.
