Doon, a steep round hill (945 feet) in Tynron parish, Dumfriesshire, terminating the SE end of a hill-range between Scar and Shinnel Waters, 4 miles WSW of Thornhill. It seems anciently to have been thickly clothed with forest, and was crowned at an early period by some kind of fortalice or habitation, which is said to have been a retreat of Robert Bruce, after his slaying the Red Comyn at Dumfries.
