a good reference of what I'm talking about is the old ballad "the burning of auchendown"
The "Auchendown" referenced in that ballad is a tower castle near modern Dufftown in the rural hamlet of Auchindoun, Moray. The castle's origins are murky - it is assumed that Robert Cochrane of Cochrane, a royal favorite of Richard III, built Castle Auchindoun, but there is no definitive evidence supporting this. Some time after its construction, however, the castle came to be held by Clan Oglivy, and it was later sold to Clan Gordon around 1535.
The ballad itself refers to destruction of the castle by Clan MacKintosh in 1592 - the MacKintosh's were allies of James Stuart, Earl of Morray, who was murdered by George Gordon, Earl of Huntley in the culmination of a rivalry over territory and royal favor. Willie in the ballad refers to to the younger son of Lachlan Mor MacKintosh (then Chief of Clan MacKintosh), William MacKintosh, 1st of Borlum. Fiddichside refers to the River Fiddich near Auchindown, so William MacKintosh, according to the ballad, was by the banks of River Fiddich.
