The name is similar to a Lowland Scots word gorbal/gorbel/garbal/garbel (unfledged bird), perhaps a reference to lepers who were allowed to beg for alms in public. Gort a' bhaile (garden of the town) conforms with certain suggestions made by A.G. Callant in 1888, but other interpretations are also popular.

The landlord of the Railway Hotel in the village would set up the bar tent, and locals would lend tractors to move horseboxes, since no hard standing was available at the track. The course's principal race was the 3 mile Rothbury Cup, which was moved to Newcastle after the course's demise. In its later years, Rothbury staged a three horse race over 3 miles. The Callant, a striking grey horse, locally owned, but well-known having featured in close finishes in big races elsewhere in the country, came close to a memorable victory in the race having fallen, and been at one point over two fences behind the others.

Robert Burns rewrote the second verse of the original, so that the latter lines were "May Heaven protect my Bonnie Scots laddie, and send him safe hame to his baby and me." He added a concluding verse with the promise to the baby to "bigg a bower on yon bonnie banks, where Tay rins dimpling by sae clear", alluding to the River Tay. Another version of the original, titled Scots Callan O' Bonnie Dundee, refers to a callant (lad) rather than a soldier, and a "bonnie blue bonnet" instead of a bannock.Broadside ballad entitled 'Scots Callan O' Bonnie Dundee', published around 1890–1900 The tune is used for unrelated words in a broadside ballad published in 1701 under the title Bonny Dundee, suggesting that it was to be sung to this melody, and in John Gay's The Beggar's Opera published in 1765.p.
