Stt Skner's 1921 ncert set romantilly entled "Spey's Fury's" and was posed 1915 by the great strathspey artist The origal tle was "The Gordon Highlanrs March" but me to be lled "The Gay Gordons" through associatn wh the famo Sttish untry dance. The 'Gay Gordons' remas a popular uple dance, still ocsnally to be found at New England ntra danc, for example, and at Sttish dancg events, where has been over time one of the most popular Sttish Country Danc.
Perhaps the earlit reference to the dance dat to the year 1915, although Christe Mart (2002) says there was a prev reference to a Gay Gordons dance 1907. The word 'gay, sometim spelled 'gie' (as Jimmy Shand's 1942 rerdg) or 'gey', perhaps to preclu morn associatns of 'gay' wh homosexualy, this ntext means 'handsome appearance' or 'cked out' (as formal kilted drs).
The famo Sttish bandlear and acrdnist Jimmy Shand rerd a "Gay Gordons" medley the 1950's wh Skner's tune as the lead-off piece ("Auchmounta's Bonnie Glen"/. It has been speculated that the origal ephet 'Gay Gordon' referred to the urtly Contental manners of the origal Norman members of the clan who reloted to the remote North East of Stland.
