A rare early work available in some libraries and private collections and now made available as a digital book by Taigh na Teud Music Publishers. Daniel Dow was a music teacher in Edinburgh, he particularly taught guitar. A dance called “Athol House and Ossian’s Hall was composed by him. Many of his tunes are excellent and great favourites: “Athol House”, “Sir Archibald Grant of Monymusk’s Reel” “Bonnie Annie” and “Lady Charlotte Murray’s Reel”. Many of his compositions were re- named in various other collections by Nathanial Gow and others when including them in their own collections. Daniel Dow made one of the first collections of Gaelic airs, giving their Gaelic titles and John Glen the collector considered “ that many of his tunes are excellent”. Dow died at the age of 51 in January 1783 of a fever.
